Liquid density measurement system for determination of oil in water

Claim 1

A SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE PERCENTAGE OF WATER AND OIL FLOWING THROUGH A PIPE LINE, COMPRISING A TEST CHAMBER INTERCONNECTED WITH SAID PIPE LINE WHEREBY THE LIQUID FLOWING IN SAID PIPE LINE WILL BE DIRECTED THROUGH SAID CHAMBER, A RADIOACTIVE SOURCE THAT EMITS A PREDETERMINED RADIATION SPECTRUM IN WHICH THE INTENSITY OF THE LOW ENERGY RADIATION IS RELATIVELY HIGH AND THE INTENSITY OF THE HIGH ENERGY RADIATION IS RELATIVELY LOW, SAID SOURCE BEING POSITIONED ON THE OUTSIDE OF SAID CHAMBER AT ONE SIDE THEREOF FOR DIRECTING RADIATION THROUGH SAID CHAMBER BY WAY OF LIQUID IN SAID CHAMBER, A RADIATION DETECTOR SENSITIVE TO LOW ENERGY RADIATION FOR EMPHASIZING LOW ENERGY RADIATION RELATIVE TO HIGH ENERGY RADIATION, SAID DETECTOR BEING POSITIONED ON THE OUTSIDE OF SAID CHAMBER AT THE SIDE OPPOSITE SAID SOURCE FOR DETECTING RADIATION PASSING THROUGH SAID CHAMBER BY WAY OF SAID LIQUID, AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE WALLS OF SAID CHAMBER BETWEEN SAID SOURCE AND SAID DETECTOR BEING LOW DENSITY MATERIAL, AN ENERGY DISCRIMINATOR INTERCONNECTED WITH SAID DETECTOR AND RESPONSIVE TO ONLY SAID LOW ENERGY RADIATION OF A RELATIVELY HIGH INTENSITY, A RECORDER INTERCONNECTED WITH SAID DISCRIMINATOR FOR RECORDING AN INDICATION OF THE LOW ENERGY RADIATION DETECTED, A MOVABLE CHART ASSOCIATED WITH SAID RECORDER, MEANS INTERCONNECTED WITH SAID PIPE LINE AND SAID CHART FOR DRIVING SAID CHART AT A RATE PROPORTIONAL TO THE RATE OF FLOW OF SAID LIQUID THROUGH SAID PIPE LINE, AND MEANS FOR CONTINUOUSLY RECORDING ON SAID CHART THE PERCENTAGE OF WATER AND OIL FLOWING THROUGH SAID PIPE LINE.

Claim 2

A SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE PERCENTAGE OF WATER AND OIL FLOWING THROUGH A PIPE LINE, COMPRISING A TEST CHAMBER INTERCONNECTED WITH SAID PIPE LINE WHEREBY THE LIQUID FLOWING IN SAID PIPE LINE WILL BE DIRECTED THROUGH SAID CHAMBER, A RADIOACTIVE SOURCE THAT EMITS A PREDETERMINED RADIATION SPECTRUM IN WHICH THE INTENSITY OF THE LOW ENERGY RADIATION IS RELATIVELY HIGH AND THE INTENSITY OF THE HIGH ENERGY RADIATION IS RELATIVELY LOW, SAID SOURCE BEING POSITIONED ON THE OUTSIDE OF SAID CHAMBER AT ONE SIDE THEREOF FOR DIRECTING RADIATION THROUGH SAID CHAMBER BY WAY OF LIQUID IN SAID CHAMBER, A RADIATION DETECTOR SENSITIVE TO LOW ENERGY RADIATION FOR EMPHASIZING LOW ENERGY RADIATION RELATIVE TO HIGH ENERGY RADIATION, SAID DETECTOR BEING POSITIONED ON THE OUTSIDE OF SAID CHAMBER AT THE SIDE OPPOSITE SAID SOURCE FOR DETECTING RADIATION PASSING THROUGH SAID CHAMBER BY WAY OF SAID LIQUID, AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE WALLS OF SAID CHAMBER BETWEEN SAID SOURCE AND SAID DETECTOR BEING LOW DENSITY MATERIAL, AN ENERGY DISCRIMINATOR INTERCONNECTED WITH SAID DETECTOR AND RESPONSIVE TO ONLY SAID LOW ENERGY RADIATION OF A RELATIVELY HIGH INTENSITY, A RECORDER INTERCONNECTED WITH SAID DISCRIMINATOR FOR RECORDING AN INDICATION OF THE LOW ENERGY RADIATION DETECTED, A MOVABLE CHART ASSOCIATED WITH SAID RECORDER, MEANS INTERCONNECTED WITH SAID PIPE LINE AND SAID CHART FOR DRIVING SAID CHART AT A RATE PROPORTIONAL TO THE RATE OF FLOW OF SAID LIQUID THROUGH SAID PIPE LINE, AND MEANS FOR CONTINUOUSLY RECORDING ON SAID CHART THE PERCENTAGE OF WATER AND OIL FLOWING THROUGH SAID PIPE LINE.
