Pipe Based Vee-Wire Screens
Pipe based screen combines the hydraulic efficiency of a continuous
slot screen with the strength of a pipe. This pipe strength allows
smaller wrap wires to be used, yielding greater open area.
Longitudinal support rods direct inflow to the nearest pipe
perforation. Screen and pipe are welded together to make a rugged,
reliable unit for deep vertical wells and long, horizontal
remediation of supply wells. Fittings are available to meet most
well design and installation requirements.Â
The pipe based screen is recommended when high collapse resistance
is required and when the screens’ length generates a high
longitudinal constraint. The pipe strength allows smaller wrap
wires to be used, yielding greater open
area.Â
Base pipes can be manufactured using stainless steel grades or API
5CT carbon steel casing. Johnson Screens uses prime pipe,
thoroughly cleaned and de-burred after
perforating.Â
Diameters for pipe based screens range fro in.m 1.5 in. /Â *8
mm to *8 in. / **7 mm.Â
