Abstract
A sensor for determining gas content of a two phase fluid flowing in a flow line, the sensor including a sleeve configured to be arranged in the flow line in a stream of fluid. The sleeve includes a plurality of measurement electrodes that, in pairs, define a plurality of subdivision spaces subdividing a flow section of the sleeve. The sensor also includes switch and measurement members coupled to the measurement electrodes to control switching of each subdivision space of the sleeve between a measuring state and a non-measuring state. The switch and measurement members are configured to selectively switch the state of each of the subdivision spaces independently of one another.
