A downhole borehole imaging tool and methods for determining a borehole size includes a magnetoresistive system and a hub moveably coupled to a fixed tool string. The hub includes a magnet. The magnetoresistive system includes magnetoresistive sensors disposed within the fixed tool string and segregated from the magnet. During operation, a routine scan of all sensors measures, for example, the output voltage V, angle θ of magnetic field, and temperature. Measurements from each sensor may then be characterized to account for temperature and input voltages variation of the sensors. The most accurate measurement can be used to derive the position of the hub 44 using the previous baseline parameters stored in the tool.

A spacer tool for assembling a glass panel on a frame is provided. The spacer tool includes a body defining a central axis and a width along the central axis. The spacer tool includes a bore disposed within the body and axially aligned along the central axis. The bore is adapted to receive an alignment pin disposed on the frame. The spacer tool also includes a plurality of lands disposed on the body. Each of the plurality of lands is disposed substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the central axis, each of the plurality of lands is adapted to selectively contact an edge of the glass panel. Each of the plurality of lands is disposed at a distance relative to the central axis different from one another.

A plug gauge includes a housing, defining an internal volume, first openings, and second openings. The plug gauge includes first contact elements, each at least partially received in a respective one of the first openings. The plug gauge includes a first plunger in the internal volume and movable relative to the housing. The first plunger is biased to urge the first contact elements radially outward through the first openings. The plug gauge includes a first sensor sensing movement of the first plunger. The plug gauge includes second contact elements, each at least partially received in a respective one of the second openings. The plug gauge includes a second plunger in the internal volume and movable relative to the housing. The second plunger is biased to urge the second contact elements radially outward through the second openings. The plug gauge includes a second sensor sensing movement of the second plunger.

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.

A tool for evaluating the internal surfaces of tubular is provided, wherein one or more arms extend outwardly from the tool to contact an inner wall surface of the tubular, and changes in the dimensions or condition of the inner wall result in changes in the position of the ends of the arms relative to the tool. This motion is converted, through an electromagnetic transducer. The probe arms extending from the tool are releasably held in bores formed by opposed members on the tool, within which the probe arms may pivot. The internal end of the probe arms need not be physically secured to an internal element of the tool, yet still enable motion of an internal components to actuate a transducer to provide electrical signals indicative of the tip of the probe arm relative to the tool as the tool traverses a tubular, such as a wellbore casing.

Measuring assembly with a measuring apparatus and a recognition system, and recognition method to detect the correct positioning of a removable device such as a comparator to check the shape and/or dimensions of a mechanical part with respect to a stationary part that includes at least one mechanical reference for the removable device. The system comprises a field source disposed in the stationary part that generates a field and a matching element disposed on the removable device that is able to alter the propagation of this field if correctly positioned relative to the field source. A sensor fixed to the stationary part in an appropriate position detects or not the field and generates a resulting detection signal detection or non-detection signal. A processing unit receives the signal generated by the sensor and on the basis of this provides information about the correct or incorrect positioning of the removable device with respect to the stationary part. The recognition system can be of the magnetic or optical type.
