Abstract

In this paper Compton Scattering technique is analyzed as a possible tool for the characterization of materials inside draining petroleum pipelines. The study was accomplished in laboratory scale, so the results should be analyzed to conclude if the system could be used in the field. The system used was composed of two detectors aligned by a Ce-137 source forming an angle of 90° with the detectors line (662keV—direct beam, and 288keV—scattered beam). The results obtained show the capability of the system for the characterization of materials like sand, paraffin and water inside pipelines.
