The paper presents application of the gamma-absorption method to a two-phase liquid-gas flow investigation in a horizontal pipeline. The water-air mixture was examined by a set of two Am-241 radioactive sources and two NaI(Tl) scintillation probes. For analysis of the electrical signals obtained from detectors the cross-spectral density function (CSDF) was applied. Results of the gas phase average velocity measurements for CSDF were compared with results obtained by application of the classical cross-correlation function (CCF). It was found that the combined uncertainties of the gas-phase velocity in the presented experiments did not exceed 1.6% for CSDF method and 5.5% for CCF.
