Measurement Names
The measurement names identify measurements. Across experiments and campaigns, measurements with the same name should be comparable.
- The root of the name gives the type of measurements and should be taken from the table
- The relevant phase is given by G (gas), O (oil/hydrocarbon liquid), or W (aqueous phase). Ex.: USG
- The relevant interface is given by GO, GW, or OW. Ex.: SIGOW
- If there are several measurements of the same type, the names are numbered according to axial position. Ex.: P1, P2, P3 for three different pressure measurements
- Additional letters can be used for further differentiation. Ex. TT and TB; temperature measurements at the top and bottom of the pipe at the same axial position. HL and HR; hold-up measurements in the left and right half of the pipe cross section
- Multi-dimensional measurements are designated with an underscore and the coordinate symbol. Ex.: LF-Z (Line fraction measurement as a function of height), RHO_YZ (density measurements in the cross section), UL_Z (local liquid velocity as a function of height)

The naming scheme cannot give all details, so always check the corresponding experiment reports!
