Safety
Memory gauges are pressure tools. If careful procedures are not followed, pressure
could be trapped inside the tool and the dismantling operation could become
dangerous.
Memory gauges are designed for and can be run in a sour gas environment. Usual
maintenance and safety practices for sour service equipment must be followed in
order to protect personnel using the tool and to ensure the longest possible tool
service life.
Memory gauges use lithium battery packs, which have special handling and disposal
procedures.
If the following recommendations are not clear or in case of doubt, please contact
Metrolog at:
Tel: + 33 5 61348074
Fax: + 33 5 61348066
Email: support@metrolog.com
It is assumed that all relevant safety aspects, precautions and recommendations
are known by the operators using Metrolog gauges.
Pressure
As any downhole tool, a memory gauge can trap pressure. While every precaution
must be taken to insure that pressure cannot enter in the gauge by:
regularly changing the O-rings,
always cleaning the O-ring grooves before installing new O-rings,
using the right O-ring type for a given environment,
maintaining the HPC contacts O-rings,
from time to time, tightening the quartz crystal sensor on its holder with a
dynamometric range,
(see the following sections for more details), it is always possible to face the rare
event that pressure entered in the tool but did not get out. It is particularly true in
gas wells when the gauge has been left for a long time in the well: pressure could
enter slowly by migrating through the O-rings but does not have time to bleed-off
when the gauge is retrieved.
Most of Metrolog memory gauges are built for this problem not to happen: either
the pressure or the temperature probe of the AMEtrolog, TAMEtrolog, Flolog and
Multilog will be pushed out of their seat if pressure inside the tool becomes higher
that the outside pressure. CGMs, by their design, cannot incorporate such a safety
feature.
Metrolog proposes, for CGMs, a special electronics housing with a built-in relief
valve. This relief valve must be maintained in perfect condition to be efficient.
When gauges must be exposed to gas for a long period of time, it is advisable to
run them inside gauge carriers full of high temperature oil (i.e. silicone oil) in order
to avoid or limit the gas migration through the O-rings. Metrolog proposes these
carriers for its different gauges.

Section 1
Safety
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In extreme cases, for very long duration operation in gas wells, Metrolog proposes
Fully-Welded CGM gauges. These CGMs do not have any O-ring and thus are the
only solution for very long exposure to gas.
However, and except when Fully-Welded CGMs have been used, all the above
precautions may not be sufficient to prevent pressure to enter the gauge. Strict
procedures must thus be followed.
When pressure is trapped in a memory gauge, two possible symptoms must alert
the user:
- the HPC sleeve is extremely hard to move and even stuck and
- the electronics housing is very hard to move and its locking screws are hard to
remove.
Caution!! These symptoms are not exhaustive and pressure could be trapped in the
gauge without any evidence of such a problem.
WARNING
A highly possible danger comes from the HPC contacts that could be expelled with
a great force when the HPC sleeve is moved. The HPC contacts are glued in place
but just to keep them in their seat not to resist to high internal pressure.

WARNING
Try to open the electronics housing first. In this case, all precautions must be
taken to avoid the housing to be ejected violently (for the same trapped pressure,
the force pushing on the housing is 10 times higher that the force pushing on the
HPC contact.
Whe n rem ovi ng the ele ctronic s housing, do not sta nd i n the

Sour service
All Metrolog's memory gauges have been designed to be run in sour service
environment but, in this case, O-rings must be changed between every run and the
bottom nose filled-in with high temperature grease.
The CGM has a built-in bellow, which protects the quartz sensor against the well
fluid.
Complete buffer tube adapters or special bottom noses with a built-in buffer tube
are available on request for sensor protection.

Battery safety
Lithium batteries used by Metrolog memory gauges are Lithium based batteries
that are a potential hazard in case of wrong usage or wrong operation. We thus
advise the users to observe particular precautions when using Lithium batteries,
such as:
1. Do no t u se ba tteries abov e th ei r tem p era tu r e li mi t.
2. Do not op en th e batteri es in ord er to p r even t any ris k of short

In order to protect the users, these batteries are equipped with a double level of
fuse. One fuse is built in the cell itself, a second fuse has been added at Metrolog's
request by the battery manufacturer. However, it is important to understand and
respect the above rules and to treat these batteries with special care with a full
understanding of their specificity; the protection by fuses is of no use in case of
deformation or crushing of a battery by a mechanical action.
If you have any question or doubt, please contact Metrolog.

Replacement of O-rings
The O-rings generally supplied by Metrolog are Viton O-rings 90 Duro.
When replacing the O-rings, it is important to follow strict procedures in order to
achieve the proper seals and their longevity:
1. Apply the minimum possible stress. Pass the O-rings around the smaller
diameter possible.
2. Because of the inevitable stress applied when installing new O-rings, once
installed, wait 2 minutes before placing the housing that will cover them. This
gives time for the O-rings to relax and to take back their original shape.
3. Metrolog recommends not to use back-up rings anymore.
Wherever an O-ring and a back-up ring were used, install two O-rings of the same
size in the same groove instead.
(Figure M1 - O-rings installation)
WARNING
Sp eci al O -r ings for o pe r atio ns in ga s well s

For long or multiple exposures to gas, it may be needed to replace the standard
Viton 709/90 O-rings by special O-rings made of other compounds or harder Viton
like Viton 858/95
These O-rings have been designed to resist to explosive decompression and are
used by major oil producing companies in gas fields for downhole and surface
applications.
Their main characteristic being to have a very low permeability to gas, they greatly
reduce the gas entry (by diffusion) into the gauge.
Same replacement precautions apply than for standard Viton O-rings.
In order to determine which compound is best adapted to each application,
contact Metrolog and supply the fluid characteristics and chemical content.

(Figure M2 - 1.25" OD AMEtrolog parts description)

The HPC sleeve O-rings are to be changed frequently since the HPC sleeve will be
moved at each run and because they protect the HPC contacts.
On AMEtrologs, the HPC sleeve O-rings are changed without opening the gauge by
removing the bottom adapter:
1
Put the gauge on a flat surface. Pull the HPC sleeve in the down position
(uncovering the 2 HPC sleeve O-rings).
Remove the locking ring screw. Then remove the bottom nose, the bottom
nose adapter and the locking ring by unscrewing the bottom nose adapter.
Remove the locking O-ring, the HPC sleeve and the HPC sleeve O-rings.
Place new O-rings (n 022) by sliding them around the sensor holder. Grease
them with lubriplate grease.
Replace the HPC sleeve, slide it in the up position and replace the locking Oring (n 022) around the sensor holder.
Replace the locking ring and re-assemble the bottom nose and bottom nose
adapter by screwing them to the sensor holder. Replace the locking ring screw
and tighten it gently.

insure lubrication and to prevent fluid entry that could stop the spinner rotation.
To fill the spinner holder, just before a job:
1
Remove the injection screw with a 7/64" Allen key from the Multilog body.
Place the Multilog upside down and fill the spinner holder with light, non greasy
fluid (kerosene or light fuel) using a syringe for example.
When the fluid flows from the spinner, the spinner holder is full. Replace the
injection screw and tighten it.

Maintenance of HPC contacts

The HPC contacts must be kept clean at all times. Do not clean them with a sharp
object nor with a metallic tool but with cloth or cleaning paper.
There is no other routine maintenance on the HPC contacts than cleaning. However,
HPC O-rings must be changed before long term jobs.

Use ex clusiv el y high quality O- rings for th e HPC conta cts.
Refer to "Special O-rings for operations in gas wells" higher in this section.
(Figure M10 - HPC contacts detail)
1
Strip the gauge as much as possible, following one or more of the procedures
described above, in order to work on the part holding the HPC contacts only.
Heat the HPC contacts with a hot air blower for example, up to a temperature
of 150C (300 F).
When the part holding the HPC contacts and the HPC contacts are hot, insert
the tip of two small screwdrivers in the HPC contact groove and pull firmly to
remove it. Do not pull by more than a few centimeters not to break the
electrical connections.
Clean the bottom of the HPC contact seat. Remove first all traces of glue with
a metallic tool without damaging the seal bore. Clean it then with an industrial
cleaner, for example: Loctite 7063
Replace the 2 HPC contact O-rings on each contact carefully, to avoid cutting
the connection wire on the sharp edges of the HPC holes.
Glue the HPC contacts back in place using high temperature metal-metal glue,
for example:
Activator Loctite 7649
Glue Loctite 648
Press firmly each HPC contact in its seat during a few seconds, checking that
each contact has reached the bottom of its seat in order for the HPC sleeve to
travel freely above it.
Replace all O-rings and all other mechanical parts and re-assemble the gauge.

Maintenance of special CGM housing relief valve

When a special CGM housing with relief valve is used, the status of the relief valve
must be checked after each run. The relief valve rod must be flush with the
bottom of the relief valve nut. If the relief valve rod has popped out, it means that
the gauge internal pressure was greater than the outside pressure and that the
relief valve has completed its task.
(Figure M11 CGM housing relief valve detail).
WARNING
It is ex tr e mel y i mpo rtant to red ress the relief valve as f requ en tly as
possibl e and in an y cas e each tim e th e r eli ef va lve rod has b een found
out of i ts s ea t.
To redress the CGM housing relief valve:

1
Make sure the rod is pushed back in order to introduce a 5/16" Allen key
inside the relief valve nut. Unscrew the relief valve nut.
Pull the relief valve rod and spring out.
Place two new O-rings (n 011).
Replace the relief valve rod and push it down in its seat, replace the relief
valve spring and nut. Tighten the relief valve nut with the 5/16" Allen key.
10 Check that the relief valve rod is flush with the bottom of the relief valve nut.

Spinne r and cage definition for Multilog

Multilog gauges can be used with various cages and spinners according to the
minimum ID of the completion in which they will be run and to the maximum flow
velocity expected.
Four sizes of Multilog cages are proposed: 1.5" cage for 1.5" OD Multilog,
1 11/16", 2 1/8" and 2 7/8" cages for 1 11/16" OD Multilog. This size is the
outside diameter of the cage and must be selected according to the Multilog size
and the minimum ID of the completion.
Please note that a 1.5" OD Multilog can only measure flow and fast response
temperature or pressure and fast response temperature.
Two spinner pitches are proposed: 2" and 5". The pitch represents the fluid
movement when the spinner makes one complete revolution. According to the
expected fluid velocity, the spinner must be chosen with the following limits:
- minimum measurable velocity: 1 Hz = 1 revolution per second and
- maximum measurable velocity: 100 Hz = 100 revolutions per second.
The following table gives the part number for each part or each kit.

Sym p tom :
Reasons:
After clicking the 'Stop & Test' icon or the 'Read Data' icon, the
message "Gauge Communication Failure, Gauge not Communicating"
is displayed on the screen.
There is no communication between the PC and the gauge for one
or more of the following reasons:
#1:
Solution:
The communication port is erroneous.

Check the port to which the HPC cable is connected it must be a
serial 9 pin RS-232 port. Check that it is the port indicated in the
Configuration|System menu.
#2:
The HPC cable is not properly connected to the computer or the

gauge.
Check the connections by disconnecting the connectors and reconnecting them. In particular, on gauge side, check that the
contacts are clean and in good condition, that the guiding pin of the
HPC connector is in place and so that it was not possible to connect
it upside down. Check also that the HPC sleeve is well pulled down
and that the HPC connector does not rest on its edge but rests flat
on the gauge body itself.
Solution:
#3:
Solution:
The HPC battery is flat.

Replace the battery by a new 9V battery.
#4:
Solution:
The HPC cable has failed.

Use another HPC cable to determine for sure the reason of the
failure.
#5:
The gauge battery is highly passivated. Its voltage does not reach
the minimum voltage to start the gauge.
See later in this section for the depassivation of a highly passivated
battery.
Solution:
#6:
Solution:
The gauge battery is flat or missing.

Replace it by a new battery if it is to run a job. To read the gauge
data, disconnect the HPC extension from the HPC cable and connect
the HPC cable directly to the gauge battery connector in place of
the battery. The HPC cable now supplies current directly to the
gauge.
#7:
Solution:
The gauge communication system has failed.

Try to access the gauge with a GTI+PM (see below). See below
"Electronics troubleshooting". DO NOT TRY TO REPROGRAM IT IF
THERE IS DATA STORED INSIDE.

Depassivation of a highly passivated battery

Sym p tom :
Note:
Reason:
Solution:
The battery is not able to start a gauge.

It is extremely difficult to make a difference between a flat battery
and a highly passivated battery. Both give the same low voltage
when loaded. A battery that will not improve after the depassivation
procedure must be considered as flat.
The battery has been stored for a long time or it has not been used
quickly after the last operation or it has been disconnected from the
gauge (or the gauge has been stopped) before the battery had
cooled down.
Use the depassivation tool supplied by Metrolog. Connect the
depassiver corresponding to the battery for a few minutes.
For 10.5 V batteries (E or H), the battery indicator should reach the
green zone after a few minutes.
For 7 V batteries (F or J), the battery green LED should be On after
a few minutes.
If a battery does not depassivate after a few minutes, there is no
need to persist and the battery must be disposed.
WARNING
Ther e is no need to and you should no t d ep assivate a

battery bas ed on El ectroch em c ells.

Electronics troubleshooting
A few checks can be performed in the field if communication with a gauge is
impossible. The procedure below shows how to detect a broken wire or a broken
clock quartz. If all these checks do not locate the source of the problem, please
contact Metrolog.

For all the below checks, the gauge must be open and the MetroWin software
must be running on a PC.
Sym p tom :
There is no communication with the gauge with the HPC interface

cable. The gauge communicates with the GTI+PM. All other possible
reasons have been eliminated by going through the 'Troubleshooting
with PC' procedure as described above.
Reason:
The HPC cable has failed or an HPC interface cable wire is broken.
Ac tion:
Connect the HPC interface cable to the PC. Do not connect it to the
gauge since this check is performed on the cable alone. Connect the
two probes of a voltmeter to the two pins of its HPC plug.
Check that a 12 V pulse appears during at least 1 s when clicking
the 'Stop & Test' icon.
If it does not appear, check all wire connections between the RS232
plug and the HPC interface box and between the HPC interface box
and the HPC plug.
Sym p tom :
There is no communication with the gauge through the HPC

contacts. The gauge communicates through the battery connector.
Reason:
A wire connecting an HPC contact to the circuit board is broken.
Ac tion:
Check the integrity of the HPC connection wires by checking them

with an ohmmeter between the HPC contacts and the circuit board.

Sym p tom :
There is no communication with the gauge. All other possible

reasons have been eliminated by going through the 'Troubleshooting
with PC' procedure as described above.
Reason #1 : A wire connecting the battery to the circuit board is broken.

Ac tion:
Disconnect the battery from the gauge. Check the integrity of the
gauge connector wires by checking them with an ohmmeter
between the gauge connector and the circuit board.
Re-soldering the wire or replacing it would generally solve the
problem.
Reason #2 : The clock quartz is broken (generally after a very strong shock).
Ac tion:
Connect the gauge, connected to its battery (depassivated), to the

PC via the HPC interface cable. If no battery is available, connect the
interface cable in place of the battery by removing the HPC
extension (see the MetroWin help file for detail).
Use an oscilloscope with a 10:1 ratio probe (or a frequency meter).
Connect the oscilloscope ground to the circuit board ground (JP7)
and touch one of the leg of the clock quartz with the oscilloscope
probe. Click the "Stop&Test" icon: a 1.843 MHz frequency should
be measured.
If the frequency does not appear, replace the clock quartz
(D.00.M.QZ1).
The new clock quartz must be placed on a thin layer of silicone foam
(for shock absorption) and held in place mechanically. Its legs must
be protected with Teflon isolation tubing and must be bent in a way
to prevent any contact (short circuit) with the electronics housing.
