Gamma ray source has very important role in precision of multi-phase flow metering. In this study, different combination of gamma ray sources ((133Ba-137Cs), (133Ba-60Co), (241Am-137Cs), (241Am-60Co), (133Ba-241Am) and (60Co-137Cs)) were investigated in order to optimize the three-phase flow meter....
