How do you Manufacture Johnson Well Screens?

Well screen

It is often manufactured by wrappings accompanied by welding of stainless steel V-shaped profile wire.

This is normally done cylindrically around support rods making use of automatic specialized wedge wire screen machine.

However, to ensure that each profile wire and support rod is contacted, the resistance welding is done.

This makes the screen tube to have features such as firm in structure, good mechanical properties, rigidity, high strength as well as load capacity.

Furthermore, the V-shaped profile wire and the screen slot being narrow in the upper part and wider in lower part ensure that it is wear and corrosion resistance.

What are Specifications of Johnson Well Screens?

It has a slot size, which is the distance between each profile wire of Johnson Well Screen.

It is customized as per the customer’s requirement and is normally in millimeters (mm) ranging from 4mm to 10 mm.

The support rod is often triangle wire.

The alternatives can also be the round rod, flat bar, and wedge wire.

In addition, the material that is used in manufacturing Johnson Well Screen can be either carbon steel or stainless steel (304/304L/316/316L among others).

The diameter normally ranges between 25mm to 1200mm and the end connection can either be beveled, flanged or thread coupled.

What are the Advantages of using Johnson Well Screens?

Johnson Well screens provide the following advantages to you;

 Well screen

i) The V-shaped section of the Johnson Well Screens creates a continuous slot and thus avoids blockage hence better filter function.
