ABSTRACT:
A borehole tool positioning and measuring apparatus and its methods of use are provided. The apparatus and method can be used to centralize a logging tool in a wellbore, or position a logging tool at a desired relative alignment relative to the wellbore perimeter surface. The method and apparatuses can be used to determine useful information regarding borehole size and configuration. Various embodiments are useful for centralizing, eccentralizing, and otherwise positioning a borehole tool in a wellbore. Methods of determining borehole size and configuration measurements using a positioning apparatus are also provided.
