The use of electromagnetic flowmeters for measuring the vapor volume fraction in liquid metal two-phase flow is described, and both theory and experimental results from NaK-argon mixtures are presented. The flowmeters must be calibrated before use. The method is applicable to vertical flow channels in which the void fraction is less than 65% and the quality is less than 0.01.
