Borehole flowmeters are downhole tools that measure axial flow in a well or borehole. Desirable flowmeter characteristics include low detection limit, a wide range of operation, accuracy, durability, reliable performance, and a small diameter and length. The recently developed electromagnetic (F.M) flowmeter has these trails. The first portion of this paper presents the MM flowmeter design, provides laboratory calibration data, and compares the performance characteristics of MM flowmeters 10 those of impeller and thermal pulse flowmeters. The second portion of the paper discusses applications of the MM flowmeter.
