Coil Force Gauge

Application

Applications Include:
- Measure downhole forces and record to memory.
- Confirm tool location while shifting sleeves.
- Capture high-speed force data and evaluate plug drill-out programs.
- Gain insight into downhole forces for extended reach tool performance.

The Coil Force Gauge has internally mounted strain gauges that measure up to 50,000 lbs of tension and compression. The downhole tool also has two onboard pressure sensors measuring up to 15,000 psi internal and external pressure. The tool operates in temperatures up to 300°F (150°C).
Additionally, the tool is robust enough to withstand multiple 50G acceleration events.
The memory capacity allows for the tool to capture 18.5 days worth of data sampling 10 times per second. The Coil Force Gauge acts as a black box recording device to assist engineers in understanding what is happening downhole.

There is no better way to know what actual forces are being transmitted downhole.
