How is Johnson type slotted tubing for water wells manufactured?

The most commonly used tube is made of continuous V-shaped stainless steel wire, normally made in a cylindrical shape around the support rods, using a specialized automatic machine that coils this wire with millimeter spacing. But, to ensure that each wire is well welded and bonded to its base, resistance welding is performed, which makes the finished tube have a firm body structure, as well as good mechanical properties, high strength, as well as load-bearing capacity. In addition, the V-shaped wire creates a groove between each gap, which narrows on the outside and opens on the inside, so that it is not clogged by particles that can get stuck and is resistant to wear and corrosion. The opening of the Johnson element varies depending on the solids retention requirements for each application.

What are the specifications of a Johnson tube?

Firstly it is by the slot size, which is the separation distance between each wire, it is customized according to customer’s requirement, the measurement is in millimeters (mm) ranging from 0.10 mm to 10 mm.

The support rod is usually made of triangular wire. Alternatives can also be round, flat or wedge rod. In addition, the material used in the manufacture of Johnson pipe can be carbon steel (we do not recommend it) or stainless steel (304 / 304L / 316 / 316L among others). The diameter typically ranges from 1″ inch to 47″ inches and the connection can be beveled, flanged or threaded.

What size Johnson tubing should I choose for the pipe I need?

Slot size selection is an important part of ensuring maximum well performance.

Tubing is typically designed to retain particles twice its opening size, and the velocity entering the tubing should not exceed 1/10 or 0.1 foot per second. Velocity is calculated by dividing the well throughput in gpm by the open area of the filter element in square inches.

Screen slot size is based on a sample size analysis of the solid particles in the well (rocks, gravel, sand). By analyzing the sizes of the grain components in the sample, a grain size distribution curve.

Several methods can be used to obtain information about the grain size distribution. The most commonly used method consists of passing the sampled materials through a sieve.

During the sieving process, each mesh retains a certain percentage of the entire sample; the finer material is collected in the lower pan. Sieve analysis not only provides the basis for determining slot size, but also other factors that affect well design.
