terms:continuous_flowmeter
A velocimeter which is designed to measure fluid velocities in the casing. Usually this tool is capable of passing through production tubing to make fluid velocity measurements in the casing below. The tool is held in the center of the fluid column usually by spring centralizers and moved at a constant rate of speed against (or with) the direction of flow. The spinner speed, a linear function of fluid velocity relative to the tool, is recorded continually versus depth.
Primarily, this tool should be used in monophasic flow regimes; i.e., injection wells and high-flow-rate gas wells or oil wells.
