Metering fluids is critical in various industries, and researchers have extensively explored factors affecting measurement accuracy. As a result, numerous sensors methods are developed to precisely measure volume fractions multi-phase fluids. A significant challenge fluid pipelines the formation of scale within pipes. This issue particularly problematic petroleum industry, leading narrowed internal diameters, corrosion, increased energy consumption, reduced equipment lifespan, and, most crucially, compromised flow paper proposes non-destructive metering system incorporating an artificial neural network with capacitive photon attenuation address this challenge. The simulates thicknesses from 0 mm 10 using COMSOL multiphysics software calculates counted rays through Beer Lambert equations. simulation considers 10% interval variation each phase, generating 726 data points. proposed network, two inputs—measured capacity rays-and three outputs—volume gas, water, oil—achieves mean absolute errors 0.318, 1.531, 1.614, respectively. These results demonstrate system’s ability accurately gauge proportions three-phase gas-water-oil fluid, regardless pipeline thickness.
