A bottom hole assembly (BHA) of a drill string includes a chassis, a plate coupled to the chassis, and a strain gauge coupled to the plate. The strain gauge is used to output a signal associated with a deformation of the plate. The plate and chassis may be included within a collar that experiences strain, and deformation of the collar may be translated to the chassis and the plate. The plate may experience strain in the form of torsional bending, in-plane bending, out-of-plane bending, axial tension or compression. The plate may include or be coupled to an electronics board that has strain gauges to measure different types of strain in isolation from other types of strain.

This disclosure presents an apparatus and system for lowering the cost of implementing a downhole sensor system using attachable collars. In some aspects, the attachable collar includes a transmitter component, while supporting electronics are included with a main collar, thereby reducing the cost of the attachable collar. The supporting electronics can send a transmission signal, a control signal, a synchronization clock signal, a selected transmission frequency, a sensor orientation and selection, and other instructions to the transmitter in the attachable collar. The receiver in the main collar can receive the output, as reflected by the subterranean formation, and transform the output to subterranean formation evaluation measurements. The measurements can be communicated to other systems. In some aspects, the attachable collar can include the receiver and the main collar can include the transmitter. In some aspects, additional attachable collars can be included on the drill string to increase the transmitter-receiver spacing.

The swivel device attaches to a bowl or is implemented as a component of the bowl. The swivel device enables adjustment of the bowl to align the outlet with the flowline. A flange of the swivel device includes multiple fastener apertures for securing the flange to the stack. The swivel device secures the bowl to the stack while allowing rotation of the bowl. Rotation of the bowl adjusts the positioning of the outlet to align the outlet with the flowline for connecting the outlet to the flowline.
