The Design and Application of a New Type of Instrument for Testing the Worn Surface of Casing Wear

In this paper, a new kind of instrument used specially for testing the worn surface of casing was introduced, its structure and testing principle was further elaborated. Meanwhile, the testing data were also used for the 3D surface reconstruction of the worn area of casing. The comparative study with SEM pictures could tell that the instrument performed very well and is quite helpful in the observation of worn rejoin of casing; the conclusions drawn from the study could be applied in the research of wear mechanism.
