Abstract
A continuous wear measuring device for measuring a wear in a well tool includes a probe configured to wear simultaneously with the well tool, and a control unit electrically connected to the probe and configured to continuously measure a parameter of the probe. The control unit is configured to map a measured value of the parameter to a wear amount of the well tool.
