4AC60 : Four-arm caliper probe

The 4AC60 borehole geometry probe incorporates two pairs of caliper arms giving independent, perpendicular X-Y diameter measurements, while a magnetometer/accelerometer orientation system provides the borehole azimuth, inclination and X-Y arm directions.

 

In a non-circular borehole, because of differing spring tensions in the two pairs of arms, the tool will rotate in the borehole until the X-Y directions coincide with the maximum and minimum diameter axes.

 

Where a borehole becomes ovalised or develops breakout-type features, it can provide information on stress magnitudes and directions within the geological formations.

 

As an option, the probe can be supplied with a natural gamma detector to provide additional lithological information or for horizon correlation purposes.
