Bi-directional spinner Flowmeter
QL40 SFM
This QL series probe measures impeller rotation caused by fluid flow in the borehole. It uses a magnetically coupled pick-up which drives a low friction, high resolution encoder located inside the lower pressure housing. The encoder produces 256 pulses per shaft rotation. It has quadrature sensing electronics that instantaneously detect flow direction changes.
The QL40 SFM is a bottom sub, and can be combined with other logging tools in the QL (Quick Link) product line or operated as a stand alone tool. Weight bars with centralizers are recommended to improve log response and repeatability in large boreholes or low flow environments.
