3 Arm Caliper
QL40 CAL
The QL40-CAL sub records a single continuous borehole diameter log by means of three mechanically coupled arms in contact with the borehole wall. The 3 arm caliper measurement is a useful first log to determine the borehole condition before running other probes.
The QL40-CAL sub can be combined with other logging tools of the QL (Quick Link) product line or can be operated as a standalone tool. It is compatible with Matrix and Scout logger acquisition systems.
The QL40 CAL is supplied with two sets of arms. The standard arms are suitable for a borehole diameter ranging from 57 mm to 406 mm. The extension arms are suitable for borehole diameters up to 736mm. The caliper arms can be unscrewed from their short pivot arms and may be replaced with ones of different length. The hardened arm wear tips can be unscrewed and are easily replaced.
