1 MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION
• 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.
• Centraliser mechanism including Arms, Main Shaft, Spring Housing and Bottom
Nose.
• Shaft assembly comprising Shaft, Magnet Assembly and Bearings.
• Spinner Blade Assembly.
Six arm Caged FullBore flowmeters are protected and operated by a 6 arm spring-bow centraliser.
The opening force is supplied by a Spring (item 37). As it opens, the Closing Arms (item 7) pull the
Housing (item 8) off the Spinner Assembly (item 12). Another spring (item 42) opens out the 4 blade
spinner into the flow, and the tool is operational.
If the tool passes through any constriction, either up or down, or if for any other reason the
centraliser starts to close, the spinner will be stopped and retracted. The closing arms are supplied
for the minimum I.D. of the casing but will centre the tool over a range of diameters slightly greater
than this.
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 Devices (HEDs) detect the magnets’ rotation.
Since the overall CFB design allows the spinner to occupy a large cross section of the flow, a lower
tool joint can not be easily mechanically supported. It is therefore not possible to mount anything
below the tool.
1 Remove spring retainer nut (item 13) below the spinner. This is done by screwing it up
clockwise until it is possible to push out the small pin (item 43) through the threaded
shaft (item 11). Now unscrew the spring retainer nut downwards in the usual way.

5 Slide Shaft downwards approximately 2″ and then push back up to push out the upper
Bearing (item 36) from the Housing (item 3). Once done, extract the Shaft downwards
between the centraliser arms. Handle the shaft with great care as it must not be bent.
In order to remove the lower bearing (second of item 36), the Shaft must be unscrewed from the
mushroom shaped bearing retainer (item 10). This is presently prevented from being unscrewed by
a grub screw (item 38) which is inside the knuckle joint of the lower threaded shaft (item 11) and
partly hidden under the lower end of the spring inside (item 32). There are two possible ways to
remove the bearing:
The mushroom shaped bearing retainer can then be unscrewed from the spinner shaft.
This is a tight fit by design and may therefore be quite stiff. If it becomes more stiff after
just a few turns, check that the grub screw has been sufficiently loosened.
to remove it. This gives good access the to the grub screw (item 38) which holds the
bearing retainer and it can now be removed. This method is not recommended
unless absolutely necessary.

This is the reverse of Section 1.2 CFB Disassembly, with the following notes:
2 Fit new Bearings (2 off item 36), and lubricate with a light oil prior to storage (not WD 40
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:
Note: O’rings items 39 and 40 are environmental only and not pressure seals but should be replaced if
damaged.
4 Spinner rotation should satisfy the Before Logging Check (Mechanical) No. 2, see CFBE
Manual.
5 Note that each part of the rotating assembly is separately balanced but small amounts of
overall imbalance can be corrected by rotating the hub of the spinner assembly (item 12)
around the lower threaded shaft (item 11), and/or by rotating the lower shaft with respect
to the mushroom retainer (item 10). Final balancing is best achieved by filing the tip of the
‘heaviest’ spinner blade.
When the magnet holder has been screwed on there must be an end float of about
Warning! 0.5mm 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.
6 The spinner hub and blades are supplied as a carefully fitted assembly. It is not practical
to supply and fit individual blades.
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:
• 1 off item 39
• 1 off item 40
• 2 off item 5, 07702
• 2 off item 6, 07702
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.

Standard lower shafts are spring mounted to the upper shaft to allow the spinner to be hit or pushed
without permanently deforming the shafts.
Some users have requested the coupling of the lower shaft to the upper to be solid. For every
standard flexibly coupled type there is now a ‘solid’ version.
Standard lower shafts allow the spinner blades to fold down if they are pressed downwards at their
tips whether the spinner activating spring is compressed or not. This condition can occur with high
flowrates of liquid moving downwards over the spinner. Standard shafts can be recognised by both
upper and lower edges of actuation shoulder being rounded. (See Spinner Shafts Drawing 07520).
‘Downflow’ lower shafts require the complete spinner blade unit and hub to move down before the
spinner blades will close. This can only happen when the centraliser arms close, forcing the spinner
blades to close down. Downflow shafts can be recognised by the lower edge of the actuation
shoulder being square.
The spinner hub in the downflow spinner blade assembly is different from the standard hub.Sondex
recommend use of the downflow shaft and spinner blade assembly option in injection wells.The
nominal size of the CFB is the size of casing in which it is designed to be used.
