Stainless Steel Wedge Wire Water Well Screen

Our stainless steel wedge wire water well screen is engineered for durability and efficiency in well drilling applications. Constructed with a V-shaped or wedge profile wire wound around a robust internal array of longitudinal support rods, each intersecting point is precisely fusion welded. This meticulous construction results in a uniform mesh that excels in sand control and ensures reliable performance under challenging conditions.

The wedge wire profile screen boasts exceptional weld strength and precise slot tolerances, making it a trusted choice for sand control in well drilling industries. Designed to endure the pressures and corrosive environments of downhole operations, our stainless steel well screens offer a stable structure and outstanding strength.

Featuring continuous non-clogging slot openings, the design incorporates a continuous “V” shaped wire wrapped around a circular array of longitudinal rods. This configuration, along with perpendicular support rods welded with specific slot openings, produces rigid, one-piece units that maintain high strength while minimizing weight. This design facilitates free flow and enhances intake efficiency.

Ideal for deep well applications, our stainless steel water well screens serve as effective filter cylinders for standalone completions, as well as in combination with gravel pack completions. Each screen is finished with high-quality stainless steel fittings, including end plates, weld rings, flush joints, and NPT threaded joints, ensuring seamless integration into your well system.

Benefits of High Open Area Screens

1. Optimal Well Construction:  

Screens designed with a high open area are ideal for constructing high-quality water wells, oil wells, and gas wells. Their effective design promotes better filtration and enhances well performance.

2. Cost-Effective Operation:  
High open area screens facilitate groundwater infiltration, resulting in abundant water supply. This reduces the drawdown of water levels, ultimately saving energy and operational costs.

3. Reduced Pump Abrasion:  
Under similar conditions, high open area screens allow for a slower rate of groundwater entry, minimizing pressure fluctuations that can lead to sand intrusion. This effectively reduces wear and tear on pumps, prolonging their operational life.

4. Extended Well Lifespan:  
The efficient design of high open area screens allows for easier groundwater entry compared to screens with lower open areas. The gradual flow of water not only enhances filtration but also contributes to a longer lifespan for the well, ensuring sustained productivity.

Conclusion

Our high open area screens are engineered to deliver superior performance and reliability in various applications. By choosing screens with a high open area, you benefit from enhanced well construction, reduced operational costs, minimized pump abrasion, and extended well lifespan, making them a smart investment for any filtration or well drilling project.
