Pipe-based wire wrapped screen is another version of wire wrapped screen. It is suitable for severe environments such as high pressure, high temperature and deviated wells. Pipe-based screen can be easily modified to satisfy most well applications, such as steam, water, injection and waste disposal.
Construction
Perforated base pipe provides support to the wedge wires which are directly wrapped onto the base pipe. Advanced welding technology welded the screen to the pipe with superior weld strength and accurate slot openings.
Rib wires create a tighter grip between screen and perforated pipe to strengthen and achieve stronger screen.
Materials
Available in stainless steel 304, 316L, carbon steel and special alloys like Monel or as required depending on practical applications.
Custom services
Specifications including slot width, the number of ribs, the diameter of base pipe and end fittings and thread connections are all customized for different applications and diverse requirements by customers. Usually, slot width is from 50 micron to 2000 micron.
Features
V-shaped wire creates keystone geometry and self-cleaning performances for lower possibility of clogging.
External forces are directly transferred to base pipe.
Many ribs are designed for collapse resistance.
Wire wrapped screens produces ten times of open area as the size of slotted liners. This significantly improves well life and filtration capacity.
