Coil Force Gauge
Application
Applications Include:
- Measure and record downhole forces.
- Confirm force dependent manipulation of downhole installations.
- Capture high-speed force data and evaluate plug drill-out programs.
- Gain insight into downhole forces for extended reach tool performance.
With memory and battery capacity for up to 14 days of continuous recording at 10 samples per second, the Force Gauge provides operators with critical insight into downhole conditions.
The Downhole Force Gauge features internally mounted strain gauges capable of measuring up to 60,000 lbf in both tension and compression, as well as up to 1,200 ft-lb of torque. The tool is rated for operation at temperatures up to 300°F (150°C) and built to withstand multiple 50G acceleration events.
Higher sample rate pressure, temperature, and acceleration tools can be mounted separately inside the force gauge, allowing users to capture additional downhole data for enhanced analysis and operational insight.
