Abstract
A fluid density determination apparatus and method comprising an X-ray generator emitting a high energy radiation signal and a low energy radiation signal; a sample cell housing a sample of interest and at least one of the high energy and low energy radiation signals being directed through the sample cell; and a radiation detector measuring the output radiation from the sample cell. Data gathered at the radiation detector using the high and low energy signals are used to calculate the density of the fluid sample of interest.
