1. Process for determining a measured value of a target measured variable of a multiphase flow in a horizontal or inclined pipe, comprising:

  • measuring a value of a pressure of the multiphase flow at a point of a cross-section of the pipe having the flow through it, said point essentially constantly in contact with the same phase of the multiphase flow, as a primary measured variable by means of a measuring device;

    measuring a time development of said primary measured variable;

    comparing said measured time development of said primary measured variable with reference time developments of said primary measured variable, wherein a reference value of said target measured variable is associated with each reference time development; and

    determining the measured value of said target measured variable from the reference values of said target measured variable as a function of the result of the comparison of said measured development of said primary measured variable with said reference developments of said primary measured variable.
