Abstract
A method for determining the density of a fluid that includes disposing a gamma-ray source proximate to a vessel containing the fluid is provided. The optimal position of a gamma-ray detector with respect to the gamma-ray source is determined. A gamma-ray detector is position at the optimal position, and the density of the fluid is measured.
