Paullus, Columbus, Ohio, and Willard M. Bollenbach, St. Paul, Minn, assignors, by direct and mesne assignments, 'to Edward E. Johnson, Incorporated, St. Paul, Minn, a corporation of Minnesota Filed Feb. 12, 1960,..Ser. No. 8,431
  • each screen should have slots of theproper width to prevent the passage of the sand or gravel in'a particular well. Slots may be required of widthsfanyWherewithin a range of .006
  • the well screen determines the capacity of the well, the draw'down'a'nd pumping head, freedom from sand, and general efficiencybf performance.
  • Screen'diarneters range from approximately 1 inch to 36 inches. Adequate resistance to longitudinal forces presents no problem and 'theiequ'ired range of such resistances may be readily provided by selecting longitudinal members of suitable size and suitably spaced around the circumference of the screen ⁇ It is more difiicult, however, to provide the required wide range of resistance to lateral forces tending to collapse the cylinder.
  • the lateral resistance to collapse is a function of the thickness, formand spacing of the circumferential members.
  • Wire sections to meet any such variations in requirements may be readily formed according to the present invention ranging from the conventional one to a section which provides a slot of V-shape in cross section which widens from the inner toward the outer side.
  • FIGURE 1 is a schematic illustration of apparatus for carrying out the process
  • FIG. 2 shows successive cross sectional shapes of the wrap wire strip resulting from the first, second and third passes through the forming rolls whereby the screen is designed for flow from the outside to the inside;
  • FIG. 3 shows the cross sectional shape of the wrap wire produced by the successive passes through the forming rolls for a screen of the type wherein flow is from the inside to the outside, and
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a modified form of wire which may be produced by' slight modification of the forming rolls for the third pass, a plurality of convolutions being shown welded to a rod of the cylindrical inner unit.
  • a group of rods 5 constituting an inner, substantially cylindrical, unit are shown as they are held in conventional manner during the winding of a wrap wire 6 of helical form on the exterior of therods 5.
  • the wrap wire is secured by weld joints at the several'points of crossing the rods 5 and current for the welding operation may be suppliedthtrough a welding roll 7 shown in contact with the wire 6 where the latter extends tangentially to the group of rods 5, a tangential reach of wire being indicated at 6a.
  • the wire 6 is formed continuously in timed relation to the rotation of the rods 5 from a thin, relatively wide continuous strip 8 of any desired. weldable material.
  • the strip 8 is fed from a coil 9 supported on a bracket 10 and passes continuously to pairs of forming rolls indicated respectively by the numerals 1'1, 12 and 13;
  • the forming rolls 11, 12 and 13 may be of conventional type, each pair having coacting tongue and groove or otherwise'modified peripheries adapted to impart the required shape to the strip.
  • the rolls 11 of the first pass may bend the marginal portions. of the strip 8 to form a channel section 14, the rolls 12. of the second pass may produce the section indicated at 15 and the rolls 13 of the third pass may produce a triangular finished wire section 16 which is thereupon welded to the wires 5 or other cylindrical inner unit.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 Other examples of suitable formations for the strip 8 are illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • a modification of the third pass rolls 13 may be provided to form a channel shape section having spaced longitudinally extending edges 17, both of which may be welded to the rods '5 or other inner unit.
  • the wrap wire may be designed to permit flow from the inside to the outside.
  • the rolls of first pass may be adapted to produce a section 18, those of the second pass to modify this section to that indicated at 19' and the final or third pass rolls to form the substantially U-shaped sectionshown at 20.
  • the marginal portions of the strip 8 project outwardly from the central portion which is welded to the rods 5 or other tubular supporting member.
  • our improved process involves essentially the feeding of a wide relatively thin strip of material from a roll of such material for forming the wrap wire, bending marginal portions of the strip to form a wire of the desired shape and continuously, without interrupting the feeding and forming of the wire, securing the wire to the several rods or other tubular inner unit by electric welding, 'while rotating the inner unit about V 3 v its axis and advancing it longitudnally to space the convolutions of the wire along the unit.
  • the same forming operation may include the step of bringing the sides of the wire together to provide a wrap wire of suitable tubular form.
  • the strip material required for the manufacture of a large range of screens may consist of rolls of strip mater ial of suitable gauges. Such rolls'may be slit longitudinally to provide strips of the width required for any particular screen as a part of the continuous or integrated forming process.
  • a single convenient width of rolled sheet material of the rdesiredigau-ge may be slit longitudinally to provide any required width whilethe remaining sheet material may be rewound on another. roll for future slitting.
  • both the width of the section and the depth of it may be modified to provide a wrap wire of any required size and shape.
  • the slot opening for any particular screen can be formed as a continuous helix, according to conventional practice, but our improved process permits fabrication of units with a given resistance to collapse for different widths of the slot openings. This will be understood when it is considered that when fixed dimension sections of the prior art are used, the resistance to collapse is reduced as the width of the slot opening is increased.
  • the width and depth of the wrap wire section can be modified so that optimum properties are obtained merely by selection of a suitable strip width andset of form- 1 .ing rolls. for producing the required wire section.
  • Suitable flat strip and'sheet materials for use in construction of our improved well screen are known to the art and are commonly corrosion-resistant metals and alloys including stainless and other corrosion-resistant steels,
  • the inner tubular unit to receive the wrap wire may comprise a foraminous tubular unit adapted 4 a to be rotated and advanced longitudinally during the forming and feeding of the wrap wire.
  • a continuous process for making a tubular unit of the class described which comprises, rotating a substantially cylindrical group of longitudinally extending rods about its axis; simultaneously feeding a thin continuous strip of material adapted to be joined by heat fusion to said rods; simultaneously bending longitudinally extending side portions of said strip by a continuous operation to form an open-sided channel having continuous, spaced longitudinally extending side portions; continuously feeding said'channel substantially tangentially to said group of rods with both of the open side edges of said side portions in contact with the rods;- and continuously, without interrupting the feeding and bending of said strip, securing said side portions of said channel shaped strip at the open side thereof to the exterior surface of said group of rods byelectric welding, while rotating said group of rods as a unitabout its axis and advancing it longitudinally to space theconvolutions of said channel shaped member along said unit.
