wedge wire screen pipe filter

Wedge wire screen pipe filter is made by a v or wedge profile wire around an internal array of longitudinal support rods. Each intersecting point of these wire is fusion welded to form a precise and uniform mesh. Wedge wire profile screen filter combines superior weld strengths with accurate slots tolerances resulting in a reliable sand control screen applied in well drilling industries. Our stainless steel well screen offers stable structure and good strength, can withstand the pressure and corrosion during the downhole well completion and operation.

Advantages of wedge wire screen pipe filter

1) A continuous slot opening which significantly increases the available open area, thus providing greater access to the water bearing zone

2) Uninterrupted flow.

3) A uniform and efficient well development due to the continuous slot opening.

4) Good strength, no further support structure needed.

Applications of wedge wire screen pipe filter

The continuous-slot well screen strainer is recommended in the following situations:

-- Formation comprised of small or fine particles

-- Water wells where gravel packs will be installed

-- Thin aquifers, where maximum open area is required

-- Small diameter wells
