The standard technique used in this kind of measure is the use of densimeter. The proposal of this work is based on the measure of the linear attenuation coefficient of hydrated ethanol, using the gamma-ray attenuation technique. The water amount, in volume, can be determined knowing the linear attenuation coefficient of hydrated ethanol. Samples of hydrated ethanol, collected at fuel stations, located in Sorocaba, SP, Brazil, were analyzed and the results showed the feasibility of the technique. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.275-279engAttenuation of Gamma-raysDensityEthanolFuelHydrated Ethyl AlcoholTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1063/1.3608971Acesso aberto2-s2.0-800524159322-s2.0-80052415932.pdf
