Wrap Angle

The wrap angle is an attribute of a spiral blade stabilizer. It is measured in degrees and is defined as the total contact that all the stabilizer blades make with the borehole wall. Based on the stabilizer design and drilling operations requirements, the wrap angle can vary from 180 to 600 degrees. Wrap angle does not apply to straight-blade stabilizers.
