Flow Loop Systems

Flow Loop Systems for Pipeline and Corrosion Testing

Cortest Flow Loop Systems are used to simulate flow conditions inside pipelines and other high flow environments. A wide range of applications can be simulated, such as: Single Phase Liquid Flow, Single Phase Gas Flow, Multiphase (Liquid/Gas) Flow, Laminar Flow, and Various Hydrodynamic Conditions including Corrosion Flow, Slug Flow, Annular Flow, and Stratified Flow. Flow Loops are used to measure the effectiveness of Corrosion Inhibitors and Drag Reducers in various environments and flow regimes. Analysis capabilities include Laser Doppler, Particle Image Velocimetry, Particle Shadow Sizing, Tomography, Sheer Stress measurements, and others.

Customers can specify operating parameters such as flow rate, temperature, pressure, single or multiphase, piping diameter, and a selection of corrosion probes and sensors to customize the system for their specific requirements.
