Abstract
A densitometer assembly comprises a pipe fabricated from a high-yield steel, a radioactive source, and a detector. The radioactive source is mounted on an exterior wall of the pipe and is adapted to emit gamma radiation in a defined beam. The detector is mounted on an opposing, facing exterior wall of the pipe in alignment with the gamma radiation beam and is adapted to detect gamma radiation.
