1. A system for accurately measuring the percentage amounts of liquid and gas phases in a multiphase fluid flowing through a conduit when one of the phases constitutes a minority of the multiphase flow, comprising:

  • a flow meter positioned on said conduit that measures the percentage amounts of liquid and gas phases in said multiphase fluid flowing through said conduit, anda pump connected to said conduit upstream of said flow meter that introduces at least one pulse of a known quantity of a fluid having the same or substantially the same composition as the minority phase which temporarily increases the amount of the minority phase by an amount that is detectable by the flow meter.
