Abstract

A method for detecting an obstruction in a conduit of a tubular includes running a deployment device connected to a first cylindrical rod and a second cylindrical rod into the conduit of the tubular. The second cylindrical rod has a diameter larger than a diameter of the first cylindrical rod. The method further includes positioning an outer sleeve, including a plurality of stretchable elements connecting a plurality of panels to one another, in a first position, wherein the outer sleeve is disposed concentrically around the second cylindrical rod in the first position. The method further includes detecting the obstruction by shifting the outer sleeve from the first position to a second position due to an interaction between the obstruction and the outer sleeve, wherein the outer sleeve is concentrically disposed around the first cylindrical rod in the second position.
