Wire wrapped screens
Wire wrapped screens made in Nordhausen offer the combination of highest quality, short delivery schedules and competitive prices.
Delivery program:
High yield wire wrapped screens
Our wire wrapped screens are highly
permeable and have excellent hydraulic
properties. Advantages comprise:
Up to 45% or more free open entry
area
Installation possible to depths of
2000 m
Smaller diameters can be drilled as
gravel packing is not necessarily
required
The slogs can’t be clogged due to
wedgeshaped surface wires
A wire wrapped screen consists of a
wedge-shaped surface wire that has
been wrapped and welded to a number
of perpendicular support rods that
define the inner diameter.
This type of screen has originally been
developed in order to install wells in fine,
uniform sands.
Such wells are generally constructed in
high-yielding in aquifers of low thickness
and in shallow depths, but with high yield
perspectives.
Nowadays, wire-wrapped screens are
highly effective in any formation and application
due to the fact that slot widths of
less than 0.2 mm can be realised. At the
same time, the large open area ensures
that friction as well as entrance losses are
kept to a minimum.
Depending on local requirements, a wire
wrapped screen can be produced in a
number of material grades, starting with
simple stainless steel right up to highly
corrosion-resistant alloys.
