Abstract
A fluid applicator includes, a tubular configured to transport a fluid therethrough, and a rotatable member in operable communication with the tubular such that fluid transported through the tubular is deposited at the rotatable member near a rotational center of the rotatable member. The rotatable member is configured to produce sufficient centrifugal forces on the fluid through rotation thereof to urge the fluid radially outwardly from the rotatable member to coat an inside of an earth formation borehole tool.
Claims18
A fluid applicator, comprising:
- a tubular configured to transport a fluid therethrough;
- and
- a rotatable member in operable communication with the tubular such that fluid transported through the tubular is deposited at the rotatable member near a rotational center of the rotatable member, the rotatable member being configured to produce sufficient centrifugal forces on the fluid through rotation thereof to urge the fluid radially outwardly from the rotatable member to coat an inside of an earth formation borehole tool.
A method of coating a borehole tool, comprising:
- rotating a rotatable member;
- dispensing fluid near a rotational center of the rotatable member;
- discharging fluid from the rotatable member with centrifugal force generated by the rotating of the rotatable member;
- positioning the rotatable member within a borehole tool;
- and
- coating an inner surface of the borehole tool.
