3. What phases can it measure?

It measures oil, gas, and water fractions and flow rates across the full range of gas volume fractions (0–100%) and water cut levels (0–100%).

4. Where is it typically used?

1. Well testing (onshore and offshore)
2. Production optimization and reservoir management
3. Flow assurance monitoring
4. Allocation measurement for field management
5. Subsea and topside installations

5. How accurate is the Roxar 2600 MPFM?

Accuracy depends on operating conditions, but typical performance is within ±5% for multiphase flow measurement.

6. What certifications does it have?

It is certified for international standards, including ATEX, IECEx, CSA, and EAC, ensuring safe operation in hazardous environments.

7. What are the installation requirements?

The meter is compact and modular, designed for inline installation. It can be retrofitted into existing production systems with minimal infrastructure changes.

8. What are the maintenance needs?

Thanks to its modular electronics and non-gamma design, maintenance requirements are low compared to radiation-based or X-ray systems.
