Production Dual Caliper (PDC)
The Sondex Production Dual Caliper is used to correct spinner derived fluid volumes in varied hole sizes, or to identify casing deformation and areas of scale build-up.
The tool has a pair of caliper arm mechanisms set at 90° to each other for measuring the inside casing diameter in the X and Y axes.
The caliper assembly is fully collapsible down to tool diameter for running into and pulling out of the hole.
The caliper is spring loaded and follows tubing ID while running in hole. It opens fully on leaving the tubing to enter the casing. Each arm operates as an independent unit exerting a constant radial force in any casing diameter.
