Claim 7:
8. A system for detecting the density of a produced fluid, comprising:
a flow sensor of claim 1 mounted to a production tubing, where the flow sensor is positioned such that the outlet flow orifice is aligned with a fluid inlet of the production tubing;
a source of power in electrical communication with the flow sensor such that a sensor head of the flow sensor may be induced to vibrate at a vibration frequency while in contact with a fluid, where the vibration frequency is associated with a density of the fluid; and
a computer processor in signal communication with the flow sensor and configured to both receive a data signal from the sensor head of the flow sensor and to determine the associated density of the fluid in contact with the sensor head utilizing the data signal, where the computer processor is part of a computer system.
