SURFACE TEXTURE MEASURING APPARATUS
A surface texture measuring apparatus includes an X axis displacement mechanism and a Y axis displacement mechanism displacing a measurable object having an interior wall along an XY plane; a measurement sensor measuring a surface texture of the interior wall without contact; a Z axis displacement mechanism displacing the measurement sensor in a Z axis direction orthogonal to the XY plane and bringing the measurement sensor to face the interior wall; a W axis displacement mechanism displacing the measurement sensor facing the interior wall in a normal direction of the interior wall; and a θ axis displacement mechanism displacing the measurement sensor facing the interior wall along the interior wall.
SURFACE TEXTURE MEASURING APPARATUS AND METHOD
A surface texture measuring apparatus includes: a measurement sensor measuring, without contact, a surface texture of an interior wall of a cylinder portion of a measurable object while displacing in a normal direction of the interior wall at each measurement region into which the interior wall is divided in a circumferential direction of the cylinder portion; a W axis displacer displacing the measurement sensor in a W axis direction; a θ axis displacer displacing the measurement sensor in the circumferential direction, after measurement of the surface texture of a first measurement region, such that the measurement sensor faces a second measurement region adjacent to the first measurement region in the circumferential direction; and a controller adjusting a W axis direction measurement position for measuring the surface texture of the second measurement region while displacing the measurement sensor in the W axis direction.

Measuring assemblies
Disclosed herein are measuring assemblies including a measuring assembly for measuring one or more dimensions of a pipe that has an inner surface and an outer surface, which measuring assembly may include: a cylindrical housing; a first probe rotatably coupled to the housing; and a second probe rotatably coupled to the housing and capable of being disposed inside the pipe.
MEASURING WELLBORE CROSS-SECTIONS USING DOWNHOLE CALIPER TOOLS
Tools and methods are described to measure dimensions of wellbores. Downhole caliper tools include a downhole collar and an uphole collar having a running position and a sensing position. The uphole collar is farther from the downhole collar in the running position than in the sensing position. A caliper sensor assembly includes: a sensor module defining tracks extending parallel to an axis of the caliper tool, the sensor module positioned towards an uphole end of the caliper tool relative to the uphole collar; and a caliper disposed between the downhole collar and the uphole collar including: a flexible mesh extending from the downhole collar to the uphole collar. Movement of the uphole collar from the running position to the sensing position axially compresses and radially expands the flexible mesh. The annular sensor module can measure dimensions of the flexible mesh relative to the axis of the caliper tool.

Identifying and mitigating tight spots in a borehole using bottom hole assembly components as test probes
A computer-implemented method includes monitoring, by a computing device, data measurements associated with a bottom hole assembly (BHA), and detecting, by the computing device, a plurality of possible tight instances. An individual possible tight spot instance is detected based on a data measurement satisfying a threshold. The method also includes determining, by the computing device, information identifying respective probe depths of a plurality of probes incorporated by the BHA for the individual possible tight spot instance, storing, by the computing device and in a table, the information identifying the respective probe depths for each possible tight spot instance, generating, by the computing device, a profile identifying tight spot depths based on information stored in the table; and executing, by the computing device, a mitigating instruction based on the profile to mitigate the presence of the identified tight spot depths.

Plug gauge and associated method for sealing the same
A plug gauge includes a housing defining an internal volume and a longitudinal axis AH. The housing includes an opening into the internal volume. The plug gauge also includes a contact element at least partially received in the opening. The plug gauge further includes a plunger at least partially received in the internal volume. The plunger is biased into engagement with the contact element to urge the contact element radially outward from the housing through the opening. The plug gauge additionally includes a sealing member between the contact element and the housing.
