314WITH WELL-TYPE SCREEN


DEFINITION

Classification: 175/314

(under the class definition) Apparatus combined with means for separating solids from earth fluid flowing into a well conduit.

(1) Note. The means for separating solids is generally known as a well screen, strainer or filter and may comprise no more than a pipe with a multiplicity of perforations therein. The important factor determining classification in this subclass is the specific description of the use of the means to permit naturally occurring fluid in the earth formation to flow into a well conduit.
