Abstract

The invention teaches apparatus for and method of analysing, and particularly metering, multi-phase fluid. This is achieved by separating or forming homogenous slugs or bubbles (4) in fluid in a separator which pass successively into metering means. A sampler (31) may be attached to the apparatus for sampling fluid (either liquid or gas/vapour) at various points in the apparatus, including on either the separator or the metering means.
