  • Patent number: 10082015
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a profile of a tubular string and the components thereof as the tubular string is made up and run into a borehole. The apparatus includes a rotating assembly disposed within a housing, the rotating assembly including a plurality of upper legs, and plurality of lower legs and a plurality of rolling elements, each upper leg having a proximal end and a distal end coupled to an upper ring, each lower leg having a proximal end coupled to a lower ring and a distal end, and each rolling element rotatably coupled to the proximal end of an upper leg and a distal end of a lower leg. The apparatus further includes a sensor for detecting a position of the rolling elements as they engage an exterior surface of a tubular string being made up and run into a borehole from a rig. The apparatus receives the tubular string through aligned central passages in the upper ring, lower ring and the rotating assembly.
