wedge wire sand control screen

Wedge wire sand control screen of V-shape profile wire and the longitudinal support rods. Each intersecting point of these wires is fusion welded, so wedge wire sand control screen has sturdy constriction and good mechanical property. The V-shape section plane can avoid blockage and make sure of the unimpeded water.

The consecutive slot have more open area, and it can reduce the speed of the water entering to avoid the sand entering the Water Well Screens under the great pressure, so it can filter sand better. Meanwhile, the slot of Water Well Screens can change according to the real condition of the earth. 

Characteristic of wedge wire sand control screen

1. Screens with high open area are more suitable for the construction of high-quality water wells, oil wells and gas wells.
2. Low cost operation Screens with high open area shall favor groundwater infiltration. Abundant water shall reduce the water level’s down, thus to save energy consumption.
3. Reduce the abrasion of the pump Under the same condition, high open area can make the speed of groundwater’s entering into the screen much slower than any other filtration apparatus, which will avoid sand’s entering into screen because of high pressure, thus reduce the abrasion of the pump.
4. Extend the life span of wells Comparatively, groundwater’s entering into screen with higher open area is much easier than the entering into lower open area screen. The slow water flow shall extend the life span of wells.

Application of wedge wire sand control screen

The continuous-slot well screen is widely used throughout the world for water, oil, and gas wells, and is the dominant screen type used in the water well industry.
1.The continuous-slot well screen is recommended in the following situations;
2.Water wells where gravel packs will be installed
3.Thin aquifers, where maximum open area is required
4.Formation comprised of small or fine particles
5.Small diameter wells
