Summary A recirculation flow loop was operated to simulate the flow of light condensate oils in subsea pipelines at hydrate-forming conditions. Pressure drop across sections of the loop and the flow through the section were used to measure hydrate accumulation indirectly in addition to visual observations at a "see-through" section.
