3mm Wall Thickness Straight Seam Welded Screen Tube 304 SS for Oil Well Sand Control
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer based in Hengshui, Hebei, China, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has been dedicated to producing high-quality industrial filtration components since 1998. Our 3mm Wall Thickness Straight Seam Welded Screen Tube 304 SS is specifically engineered for oil well sand control, combining robust construction with precise slot design to ensure reliable performance in downhole environments. With an annual export value of US$5-10 million and serving markets across North America, South America, Europe, and beyond, we bring decades of expertise to every product we deliver.
This screen tube is manufactured using premium 304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The 3mm wall thickness provides enhanced durability against high-pressure formations and abrasive sand particles. The straight seam welding process ensures consistent structural integrity, while the precision-cut slots are designed to effectively retain formation sand while allowing maximum fluid flow. Whether used in new well completions or remedial sand control operations, our screen tubes meet the demanding requirements of the oil and gas industry.
Product Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: Grade 304 Stainless Steel (UNS S30400) – ideal for mildly corrosive environments with good weldability and formability.
- Wall Thickness: 3 mm – provides excellent resistance to collapse and burst pressures commonly encountered in oil wells.
- Welding Process: Straight seam submerged arc welding (SAW) or high-frequency welding (HFW) – ensures uniform weld quality and minimal distortion.
- Slot Configuration: Precision laser-cut or wire-cut slots with widths ranging from 0.1 mm to 3 mm, customizable to specific formation sand particle size distribution.
- Length: Available in standard lengths of 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, 6 m, or custom lengths up to 12 m per joint.
- Connection Options: Threaded (API or custom threads), plain end for welding, or flanged connections.
- Surface Finish: Pickled and passivated, or as per customer requirement.
- Quality Control: 100% hydrostatic pressure test, slot dimension measurement, and visual inspection before shipment.

Key Advantages for Oil Well Sand Control
- Superior Sand Retention: The precisely engineered slot openings trap formation sand while allowing oil, gas, and water to flow freely, reducing erosion and equipment damage.
- High Collapse Strength: The 3 mm wall thickness provides excellent resistance to downhole collapse pressures, ensuring long-term integrity even in deep wells.
- Corrosion Resistance: 304 stainless steel offers good resistance to mildly corrosive fluids, including brine and H₂S-free environments, extending service life.
- Even Flow Distribution: The straight seam design and uniform slot pattern minimize pressure drop and prevent localized sand bridging.
- Easy Installation: Available with threaded connections for quick make-up on site, reducing rig time.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to premium alloys, 304 SS provides a balanced solution for moderate conditions at a competitive price.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the typical slot width for sand control applications?
Slot width is determined based on the formation sand particle size distribution. Typically, a slot width of 0.2–0.5 mm is used for fine sands, while coarser formations may require 0.5–2 mm. Our engineers can help you select the optimal slot width. -
Can the screen tube be supplied with threaded connections?
Yes, we offer threaded connections with API threads or custom threads upon request. Plain end and flanged connections are also available. -
What is the maximum length available per joint?
Standard lengths are 1–6 meters. For longer joints (up to 12 meters), please inquire about special handling and shipping arrangements. -
Is 304 stainless steel suitable for sour service (H₂S)?
For environments with high H₂S content, we recommend using 316L stainless steel or duplex alloys. 304 SS is suitable for mildly corrosive environments without high sulfide stress cracking risk. -
How do you ensure the slots are consistent and burr-free?
Our slots are machined using advanced laser cutting or wire EDM processes, followed by deburring and inspection under magnification. Each tube is tested with go/no-go gauges to ensure slot width accuracy. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ is typically 50 meters, but we can accommodate smaller orders for sample evaluation or urgent projects. Contact us for details. -
Do you provide technical support for sand control screen selection?
Yes, our in-house engineers and sales team can assist with screen selection, slot sizing, and connection design based on your well conditions. We can also provide reference cases from similar projects. -
What is the lead time for production?
Lead time depends on quantity and customization. For standard sizes and quantities within 500 meters, typical lead time is 15–25 working days. Custom orders may require 30–40 working days. We offer expedited shipping options for urgent needs.
