Fluid Density Radioactive

Main Features of the Product

The tool uses a low energy Americium-241 gamma ray source with radiation levels approaching background at a distance of only one meter from the tool. The shielded tool has been designed to be immune to the effects of radioactive scale and the very high count rates provide excellent statistics. A radiation shield (Type A rated) is provided which can be locked on the tool so that the source can be left in place between jobs.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Gamma rays emitted by the RA source at one end of a measuring cell through which the well fluid passes, are detected at the opposite end by a scintillation detector and photomultiplier. The count rate is a logarithmic function of the fluid density. The detector is temperature stabilized and matched to the gamma energy of the source. The tool may be calibrated in air and fresh water using CNPS supplied multipliers to derive calibration values applicable to oil and saltwater densities.
