DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING FLUID INTENDED FOR SERVICING WELL USING X-RAY RADIATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N23/12 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: to determine fluid density and phase composition for well servicing, X-ray radiation generator, reference cell and radiation detector are used. Radiation passes through reference cell and fluid to use attenuated signal to estimate fluid. In compliance with one version, check radiation detector is used to measure shaped radiation signal and to control accelerating voltage and/or X-ray generator beam current using said data. Proposed device should be always clamped for log-term monitoring, or temporarily jointed to pipe in production.

EFFECT: reliable measurement of fluid characteristics in well servicing.
