Abstract
Nowadays, nuclear instruments are being widely used in various scientific and industrial fields. Different types of nuclear radiations (alpha, beta, and gamma) can be used in the construction of these gauges. Gamma based densitometers, as non-contact and non-destructive test tools, are favorably being used for process monitoring in various industries, such as oil and petrochemical industries. Design and construction of a gamma ray density gauge and measurement of temperature dependence of water density via this gauge have been reported in this study. The results indicate that the designed device can measure the temperature dependence of water density with good accuracy.
