The theory of the noncontact measuring method, based on gamma -ray absorption in the test medium, is briefly explained. The layout and mode of operation of a laboratory apparatus for measuring the density of emulsions in flotation processes are described. The radiation source is located before the pipeline carrying the liquid to be checked. The detector comprises a scintillation counter with a NaI/Tl crystul, a photomultiplier, an integrating circuit, and a measuring device that includes a self-recorder. The current is supplied from a high voltage source. Results and conclusions from laboratory and industrial experiment measurements are given. It was found that the results are of a qualitative nature, the apparatus being suitable for continuous measurements. The method does not require any special adjustments of the pipeline system.
