Continuous Flowmeter Spinner Chapter 1. Mechanical Description

1 MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
HOT WORK! Sondex equipment may, under certain circumstances or failure
Warning! modes, become a potential source of ignition. Using it must therefore be
considered "HOT WORK" and appropriate precautionary procedures should be
followed when testing at surface in areas where there is a risk of gas leaks or other
potentially explosive atmospheres.

1.1 DESCRIPTION

The Continuous Flowmeter Spinner (CFS) comprises three units:

1.1.1 ELECTRONICS SECTION

See CFBE Manual*

• Pressure Housing.
• PSU/Driver circuit board.
• Flowmeter Logic circuit board.
• Pressure tight Upper Head fitted with monoconductor pin.
• Lower End fitted with 8 pin internal connector.

1.1.2 SENSOR SECTION

See CFBE Manual

• Sensor Body containing Sensor Assembly and 8 pin internal connector.

• Locking Spring to prevent unscrewing from the Spinner Section.

1.1.3 SPINNER SECTION

• Centraliser body including upper body and bottom nose.

• Shaft assembly comprising Shaft, Magnet Assembly and Bearings.
• Spinner Blade Assembly.

Continuous Flowmeter Spinners are fully protected within the shroud of the spinner body. The
bottom nose at the bottom of the shroud prevents the spinner being damaged should the tool stand
up on anything flat, but may not prevent damage if a spiked object projects up inside the shroud.

A magnet at the top end of the spinner shaft rotates inside the oil filled Sensor Assembly. Oil leaks
out during logging to lubricate the bearings. This chamber must be filled before every logging
operation. See CFBE Manual for Oil Filling Procedure. Outside this chamber (at atmospheric
pressure), 5 Hall effect switches detect the magnet’s rotation.

Since the overall CFS design is for the tool to be as simple as possible and to allow fluids flow
almost full access into the spinner from below, a lower tool joint has not been allowed for. It is
therefore not possible to mount anything below the tool.

*. CFB and CFS electronics are identical.

1.2 CFSM DISASSEMBLY

Ref.: Spinner Section drawing 05024

Sensor Assembly drawing 07702

Item numbers refer to the spinner section drawing unless otherwise indicated.

1.2.1 SEPARATION AND DISASSEMBLY OF SPINNER / SENSOR S ECTION

1 Lift bent end of Locking Spring (item 3,

07702) out of locating groove in ring
(item 4).

2 Unscrew ring to release Sensor Body

(item 1, 07702).

Note: Take care when pulling off the Upper Body

so as not to damage the Magnet Assembly (item
6 & 7) or Shaft (item 5).

Locking Spring

1.2.2 REMOVAL OF SHAFT AND SPINNER

1 Remove spirol pin (item 11) locking bottom nose (item 2) to the spinner body assembly
(item 1). Unscrew and remove the bottom nose.

2 Unlock the two grub screws (item 15)

and screw out sufficient to unscrew
Magnet Assembly (item 6) from the
Shaft (item 5). Slide Sleeve (item 7)
from the Shaft.

Magnet Assembly

3 Slide Shaft downwards approximately 2″ and then push back up to push out the upper
Bearing (item 12) from the top of spinner body (item 1). Once done extract Shaft
downwards and out of the shroud. Handle the shaft with great care as it must not be bent.

4 Hold the shaft with one hand and press the spinner inwards to compress spring (item 8).
Rotate the spinner a quarter of a turn. Gently pull the spinner off the shaft.

Continuous Flowmeter Spinner Chapter 1. Mechanical Description

5 The Spring (item 8), spacer (item 10) and lower bearing (item 12) can now be removed.

6 The third bearing (item 12) is located in the centre recess of the bottom nose and can be
pulled out with the help of a hooked piece of wire.

1.3 CFSM REASSEMBLY

This is the reverse of the disassembly procedure with the following notes:

1 Inspect the following components for damage and replace if necessary:

• item 13, Spinner Assembly (1 off ).

• item 5, Shaft (1 off ).
• All pins, pivots and bushes.

2 Fit new Bearings (3 off item 12), and lubricate with a light oil prior to storage (not WD40 as
it is too thin and leaves a tacky film on the bearing surfaces after drying).

3 Clean and grease O’Ring seals using silicone grease. Replace the following O’Rings:

• item 6, 07702 (2 off)

• item 5, 07702 (2 off)

NOTE: O’Ring item 17 is environmental only and not a pressure seal, but should be replaced if damaged.

4 Spinner rotation should be checked in accordance with CFBE manual.

Each part of the rotating assembly is separately balanced but small amounts of overall imbalance
can be corrected by slightly filing the tip of the ‘heaviest’ spinner blade.

5 Important: When the magnet assembly (item 6) has been screwed on there must be an
end float of between 0.005″ and 0.020″ to allow for thermal expansion of the body relative
to the main shaft. If not, the bearings will stick at high temperature under end load and
may be permanently damaged.

1.4 MAINTENANCE

Before logging the tool must be oil filled; see CFBE Manual.

After logging the bearings must be cleaned and lubricated; see CFBE Manual.

If the tool experiences H2S gas or temperatures above 150°C, the following Spinner Section O’
rings must be replaced:

• item 5, 07702 (2 off)

• item 6, 07702 (2 off)
• item 17, 05024 (1 off)

Several main parts of the Sensor Section are made from Al/Bronze and will change colour from
bronze to black as a sulphide layer is created by H2S gas. This layer should not be removed by
polishing.
