Spinner flowmeter

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003542

A downhole tool that measures fluid flow rate by means of a rotating impeller or spinner. The rotation speed of the spinner is proportional to the velocity of the fluid passing through it. Spinner flowmeters are widely used in production logging to identify producing or injecting zones and quantify their flow contributions.
