ABSTRACT:
End fitting assembly for a spiral wire wound well screen includes a fitting portion which is internally threaded at one end to threadedly engage with a plurality of external wire wraps of the well screen which are wound around a plurality of longitudinal support rods at a greater pitch than the main body of the screen. Preferably, the longitudinal support rods are welded at their tips to the interior surface of the fitting. The assembly technique greatly increases the tensile strength of the joint between the screen and fitting and can be equal to a combination of the individual strengths of a conventional welded fitting and a threaded fitting. Where utmost joint strength is not necessary and welding would not be desirable for reasons such as corrosion prevention, the wire wrap threads can provide all of the joint strength.
