Abstract

A method calculates the boundary layer level between fluids, in particular the boundary layer level between oil and water in connection with the use of a segment-based boundary layer meter. The calculations are based on the use of measurement signals from a number of segments, n, and the boundary layer level, L, of the water is calculated as follows:
