A neutron beam has been used to measure the volume fraction of crude oil in water of nonflow two-phase mixture experimentally.241Am-Be neutron source were used with an activity of 3.7x104 MBq. The volume fraction was simulated by using small plastic tubes filled with oil and immersed in non-flow water tube. The results show that it is feasible to measure the volume fraction of crude oil in a crude oil-water mixture. Article history Received: 14 August 2017 Accepted: 30 August 2017
