Abstract

One of the solutions for density measurement is to make use of gamma-ray transmission technique. We studied by this technique, using by Co-60 and Cs-137. Each source, without materials in geometry, was counted and noted intensities as (I0). All materials were counted and noted intensities as (I). [I/I0] rates were calculated. Now, density of materials could be determined via using Beer-Lambert Equation. Experimental application was performed on industrial metals or metal alloys like lead&copper and steel&brass. Given densities and obtained densities were compared. Differences or deviations for lead, stell copper and brass are -5.07; 0.26; 1.11; -5.73 (Co-60) and 1.07; 3.08; -0.22; 2.34 (Cs-137) consequently. It could be said that, these differences are still in acceptable limits.
