Abstract

A system is provided that can include a first tube for communicating a fluid through a wellbore. The system can also include a gap between the first tube and a first electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT). The first EMAT can be positioned to magnetically couple with the first tube. The first EMAT can include a magnet and a wire coil positioned around the magnet. The first EMAT can coupled to a power source and positioned to, responsive to receiving a power from the power source, apply a first magnetic force to the first tube for determining a density or viscosity of the fluid.
