For years I have replaced the old sensors in temperature tool thermowells with new RTDs either for repair or upgrade of tools. I usually have to heat the...
Syd,  Thanks for sharing that with us, I had to chuckle. I'm glad the out come was no worse. I have had a similar experience with a wet slug tantalum...
Huh? I am still not hearing all that well... Seriously, the darn thing sounded like an M-80 went off in the shop. The only thing different about these...
Heck, I am a menace with all things electronic. I have blown up a wet slug tantalum, too. They are pretty loud when they go off, especially the hermetically...

The neutron porosity tool is always mounted above the density tool in a standard wireline log string. Is there any reason why the opposite configuration would...
I am no expert on these logs, but as a rule, these types of tools are arranged to minimize interference between tools from the sealed sources used. ... From:...
Neutron source bombards the formation and charges it. hence when the density tool readings get affected. this is the reason why density is always connected...
Even an AmBe chemical neutron source can mildly activate stuff around the wellbore. Park a conventional cased hole neutron tool with a measly 3 Ci AmBe source...
There is a couple of reasons for the standard arrangement: - In the older generation of the tools, the densiti did not have a feed through and it had to be the...
The Neutron is always connected above the Density. This is due to the fact that the Neutron source bombards the formation and the formation gets charged. Now...
Syd, Perry is absolutely right in suggesting that sharing this type of story is useful and could save someone from injury in the future. Perhaps you could add...
One I have heard about, but have no idea if true is using compressed air to clean ball bearings. Supposedly, the guts can get to self-destructive velocities....
