PT Pipa Mas Putih
PIPAMAS was established as the first manufacturer of oil and gas well screens in
Indonesia. This initiative was the beginning of a continuing innovative diversification.
Ever since our efforts and expertise are utilized for developing technologies, thereby
adopting API-Standards and ISO 9001 as ways of living in our corporate
community.
ABOUT US
PT PIPA MAS PUTIH began production of industrial quality
screens for the oil, gas, water, mining and food industries in
1985. This has been a period of challenge for all PIPAMAS
staff as our company rapidly expanded to meet the market
demand for our product.
As a company we have consistently placed great emphasis on
Quality and increasing our Productivity, as a result we also
have a range of other related down holes tools in production.
Quality and Productivity, the prevailing motto of PIPAMAS, is
reflected by our hardworking professional personnel, the
application of advanced technology, prudent deployment of
the company's capital and well managed company's
expenses.
Consequently, production levels are growing
steadily without compromising product quality.
These high quality standards can only be achieved through
the combination of skilled and dedicated staff, use of
premium raw materials, the application of the most
sophisticated technology available and strict comprehensive
Quality Assurance Program applied to all products.
PROCESESSES
Engineering Services
A Major part of our philosophy of Quality Assurance involves ensuring that our
customers receive the personal service which guarantees that our product is
tailored to their precise need. If required, our field engineers are available to visit
your well location, and together with your technical staff, discuss your drilling
program, assist in the well design, recommend your material
requirements, as well as help with the correct installation and application of our
screens.
Laboratory
Our Laboratory is fully equipped to run Sand Sieve Analysis and Water Sample
Test on your behalf. Our technical staff can report their findings to you, and where
necessary advise on screen diameter, slot opening, length of screen and type of
material to use as well as gravel pack grading to suit your well conditions
PROCESESSES
Quality Control
Quality is not just a word , it is a philosophy of life. Consistent quality
standards are an essential part of our customer relationship, and in
keeping with that concept, at PT PIPA MAS PUTIH we have structured our
entire organization around the principle of an effective Quality Assurance
System. From our management team to our sales staff , our design
group and of course our production line we always focus on the ultimate
quality of our end product. Our Quality Assurance Process starts from
before we accept raw materials of processing. All incoming material is
scrutinized for strength and metallurgical composition before accepted.
This guarantees that the product will not suffer from inherent weakness.
Inside out plant, each of our manufacturing process is subjected to
Quality Assurance checks to ensure dimensional accuracy. Screen slot
opening are constantly monitored for precision and compliance to
permissible tolerances, welds undergo through testing for penetration
and strength. Finally, all products undergo a rigorous Quality Assurance
check prior to ship to guarantee that our customers receive only the
best.
PROCESESSES
Wire Wrap
Wire wrapped screens are increasingly being used in the mining and
industrial sectors, in the areas of dewatering, separating, filtering,
drying, etc. Screens also have an application in the processing of sugar,
paper, chemicals and various others.
As a result, only the most sophisticated electronically controlled
fusion-welding and wrapping techniques can be used to produce a
screen with a continuous slot aperture. In order to stay ahead of the
constantly advancing technology, PT PIPA MAS PUTIH evolved a policy
of continuously streamlining and upgrading operations and techniques
in order to rapidly respond to more sophisticated and complex
customer requirements.
The PIPAMAS screen design has a large surface area with relatively
small slot sizes an essential feature when controlling fine sands from
thin aquifers without a gravel packing. Built into the screen design is
sufficient space between the slots to minimize frictional head losses
through the mesh, allowing for the tighter tolerances. Our V-shaped slot
configuration also minimizes clogging since the V-shaped profile angled
inwards has a two pint contact for the particles of the formation sands
ensures that these particles will not wedge themselves into the slot,
and eventually plug-up the screen, as frequently happens with the
slotted pipe design where the slots lie parallel and are prone to plug-up.
We should stress that the application of wire wrapped screens in
situations and/or under conditions, and we would advise clients to
consult our engineering team prior to these uses.
SAND CONTROL
The geology of the Indonesian archipelago is highly diverse in its structure. In general it consists of
unconsolidated formation materials of sand and gravel intermixed with clay, silt and volcanic boulders.
Indonesia also has large reservoirs of crude oil and gas, in most parts located at relatively shallow
depths.
With a high annual rain fall average, Indonesia has large ground water reserves contained in fairly
shallow water basins. This offers great potential for the full development of the country's natural
resources.
In order to fully exploit these resources, a careful professional drilling program must be planned.
Following the drilling of a test well to evaluate the formation materials encountered, and the reservoir
potential proven, well pressure and behavior data should be analyzed.
This preliminary data analysis will determine the holes depth of the completion to be drilled, and
generate a checklist of materials required to equip the well for full scale production.
Since the components for a well completion are vital, they should be carefully selected with a view to
such considerations as:
Well completions in unconsolidated formations are notorious for giving sand pumping problems which
lead to the plugging of the well's intake portion (screen device). The ultimate result of this is the sanding
up of the well, and damage to pumps, valves and instrumentation. As a result, costly works over and
replacement of prematurely worn out components are required involving unnecessary down time
periods, and reduction of well yield and production rate as a result of sand pumping.
A positive sand control system installed in the well is essential to effectively hold out formation sands
and materials.
The size and shape of the formation particles play an important role in determining the porosity,
permeability and storage capacity of an oil or gas reservoir or water bearing formation aquifer. Table 1
illustrates the Tyler Mesh Equivalents in Imperial measurements and gives an international standard for
grain particle sizes.
SAND CONTROL
The shape of the sand or gravel particles is a vital consideration since the rounder the particle, the
greater the volumetric holding capacity of the reservoir or aquifer. This is because the combined voids
between these grain particles hold the oil, gas or water, making up the volumetric storage capacity.
The more uniform in size and shape the grain particles are, the closer to unity the co-efficient of the
formation material will be, and therefore the greater the porosity and permeability of the reserve.
Permeability is the degree of ability of a formation to transmit oil, gas or water.
All formation particles in the pay zones are in balance and will not migrate towards the well when it is
shut in. However when the well is opened for production, the equilibrium between the particles is
broken allowing the smaller grain particles to migrate with the flow towards and will eventually intrude
into the well, if the particle size is smaller than the openings (or gauge) of the screens device.
Problems can occur in situations where a slotted pipe design is used as a screening device; the
machine milled slots cannot be milled to fine slot sizes. A well which is equipped with an intake portion
using this type of screen device will rapidly plug-up in the parallel slots, allowing unacceptable
percentage of formation material to pass into the well. This wears out equipment as its yield flow-rate
deteriorates and the well sands up.
Similar results will be experience when louver, shutter or bridge screens are used unless the producing
formation materials are very coarse. (see Table 1).
SAND CONTROL
Experienced drillers around the world have experimented with various systems in an effort to obtain
positive sand control for their wells. As a result, the most proven sand control method is to use the
following procedure:
While drilling through the productive pay zones of the well, representative formation samples can be
carefully collected and labeled for quick depth location identification. When the drilling is completed,
these samples should be evaluated for actual grain size distribution by the sieve analysis technique.
Sieve Analysis requires that each sample must first be head-dried. Between 200-300 grams of dry
formation sample should then be taken for actual sieve analysis evaluation. For accurate result this
must be an undisturbed true representative formation sample.
It is bad practice to wash the sample, because formation clays of silts may be washed away, similarly do
not remove any particles large or small from the core sample.
SAND CONTROL
Each formation sample should the be graded for grain size distribution, by placing sieves of gradually
decreasing mesh sizes on a mechanical shaker with the coarsest mesh on top, the formation samples is
then poured in and graded according to the mesh sizes used. (see fig.1).
Each retained portion of the sample, starting from the largest size and decreasing layer by layer, should
then be weighed on the basis of a continuing cumulative retained percentage of the total weight of the
sample.
This data will allow us to accurately determine the exact distribution of the various representative
formation samples of grain sizes.
The sieve analysis data are then plotted on graph paper and a smooth curve is drawn through the
data points (see fig.2). The vertical scale represents the cumulative retained percentage of the sample
while the horizontal scale represents the particle grain size (shown in thousandth of an inch steps).
These curves are then evaluated by drawing a vertical line down from the intersection point of the curve
with the horizontal 40% cumulative retained line.
This vertical line will indicate the exact slot opening or gauge of the screen on the base scale.
This allows us to accurately select the corresponding gauge opening for the screen to guarantee a
minimum hold out factor of 90% of the selected gravel pack material.
We have the ability to produce a screen to tolerance of 0.001"; significantly lower than mill-slot casing
systems which cannot be fabricated to the narrow and accurate widths required by gravel pack particles
sizes. A well completion using mill-slotted casing and gravel pack, will not hold out formation fines and
gravel pack materials, resulting in gradual sanding up and the eventual plugging
OUR PRODUCTS
Pipe Base Screen
The base pipe, casing or tubing, is selected to API specifications by size, grade and weight for each of
your required applications.
When we have your exact specifications, the casing joint will be cut to the required overall length, with a pin on each end to the
thread form required, producing a base pipe joint with two pins. Each joint is supplied with one coupling, hand-tight or power
tight as required and weld-on centralizer fins can also be furnished (see figure 6)
OUR PRODUCTS
The holes are then debarred and the joint cleaned, inspected and treated to give the base pipe a long shelf life.
Our slip-on screens are manufactured to very exact diameter, length gauge and strength tolerances. This is done by selecting the
required profile wire and support rod, which determine the flow-capacity and strength of the slip-on screen. For each gauge
opening in the screen we select a slightly greater than that of the perforated base pipe. This will give the pipe base screen optimum
flow-capacity at minimum pressure drop across the screen. Having selected the correct profile wire and support rod for a specific
application, the slip-on screen can now be fabricated using our highly sophisticated fabricating machines which cylindrically wrap
the profile wire into the electronically controlled screen fabricating machine, resulting in a uniform, cylinder-like continuous and
constant gauge screen of high strength by fusion-welding the profile wire to the support rods at each intersection.
Because of the large number of support rods and consequently large number of welds per unit length of screen, PIPAMAS slip-on
screens are superior in strength and have less likelihood of the profile wire unraveling during setting or pulling of the screen, it is
slipped over the perforated base pipe straddling the perforated section.
The protective weld rings are then welded to the base pipe at each end of the slip-on screen, holding it securely in position and
adding protection to the slip-on screen in the well during setting and pulling.
OUR PRODUCTS
PIPAMAS slip-on screens are constructed in diameters form 1.72" O/D to 10.75" in lengths of up to 30'
in one piece and gauge openings from 0.001" accuracy. This then means that the actual pipe base
screen joint can be up to 30' of effective screen length plus two blank end lengths.

A pre pack screen eliminates the need to under-ream and gravel pack a well. The gauge in a pre pack screen and the range of gravel
size is custom-designed and selected to suit the pay zone formation materials of well.
The outer casing is perforated in accordance with pre - designated size and number of holes per foot, while the inner screen gauge
size is determined by the selected resin coated sand in the annulus.
For Shallow wells with expected low production rates and thin pay zones; a pre pack screen should be considered.
Another application could be to test an old field and measure its water cut. Evaluate the possibility of putting the well back into
production. An old sanded up well which is partially depleted and needs reworking through water injection or steam flooding is
another application where a custom-built pre pack screen could be installed after the well has been cleaned out.
A pre pack screen is economical, and an ideal solution for low budget rework programs.
Our pre pack screens are made out of SS.304 materials and J/K-55 seamless casing.
We can also furnish the pre pack screen with SS.316 or other materials as required. The blank ends can be produced to any desired
length with any API thread from required.
The blank ends can be produced to any desired length with any API thread form required.
OUR PRODUCTS
We build our rod base screens to three basic strengths: a) standard, b) medium and c) heavy duty
We do this by selecting a profile wire of smaller or larger cross-section (mass), to get the desired
strength. The cross-section of the profile wire is dependent on the dimensions: 'W', 'H' and ' ' making
the inter-dimensional ratio very important. By producing a profile wire with the dimension : 'W' held to
a minimum, you get more profile wire wraps per foot of screen for any given gauge opening, ensuring
that the screen has maximum open area, flow rate. (see Fig.5)
OUR PRODUCTS
Rod Base Screen
OUR PRODUCTS
Rod Base Screen
By increasing the depth of profile wire, dimension 'H', we provide the necessary cross-section to give
the screen sufficient strength to withstand the anticipated well pressure.
The careful balancing of dimensions 'W', 'H' and ' ' will result in a rod base screen construction, with
maximum open area, flow rate, possible and at the same time provide the necessary in-built strength
for its specific well installation.
For the correct in-built column strength, our engineers select support rods by size and number for each
screen design to give sufficient in-built column strength which will withstand the anticipated column
load in the well, either in tension or compression.
All of our screens are custom-built to exact parameters to meet the specifications and conditions
expected in the well while also producing a screen with the maximum open area for a high flow-rate,
greater well efficiency and superior in-built strength for dependability and long well life.

Rod Base Screen
Table 2, gives details of our standard construction rod base screen by size, major dimensions, open area
for a range of frequently used gauge sizes, tensile strength and collapse strength. These are shown for
each screen diameter with a 0.012" gauge.
For a smaller gauge the collapse strength will be higher and for a larger gauge the collapse strength will
lower. Exact values for other gauges can be furnished on request.
We also produce screens to dimensions not shown in Table 2, with strengths and open areas to suit your
needs.
Should you anticipated special conditions, please state your exact requirements and expected well
conditions, when ordering.
OUR PRODUCTS
Regardless of whether the reservoir is to be used for irrigation, or as a potable resource, all water wells
must be provided with means to keep sand and gravel from the formation material out of the structure,
while allowing sand-free water to flow into the well.
PIPAMAS screens are custom-built to the strength required for each installation in standard, medium,
heavy duty or extra heavy duty configurations.
To construct a well properly in a likely location near a river, old river bed or valley. The diameter of the
drilled hole should be determined by flow rate (yield) required.
As in the case of Sand Control Analysis, a representative sample of encountered formation materials
should be collected during drilling, and stored in plastic bags clearly labeled with the depth at which the
samples were obtained.
We would recommend that such samples be collected every five feet: an accepted international
procedure which then allows the drilling contractor to maintain a driller’s log - a schematic of the well
showing the geological formations encountered. It will also help identify the beginning, depth and end
of the water bearing formation, and any static water stands contained in the well.
A custom-fabricated screen allows water from the formation to flow freely at a low entrance velocity, of around 0.1 ft or 0.03
meters per second into the well. This type of screen has up to ten times more open area in comparison to the slotted pipe
system.(see Figure 23, Figure 21 and Figure 22)
This is done by first calculating the open area required for a given slot opening, determining the dimension 'W', and the well
forces that have to be withstood. This will allow the accurate selection of profile wire, 'P'.
(see Figure 23 & Figure 24)
The dimension: 'W', 'H' and ' ' are carefully balanced to give optimum results. The greater the effective mass of the profile
wire, the greater the collapse strength of the screen will be to resist expected well pressures.
For tensile and column strength, the size and number of support rods must be calculated to withstand the expected column
load in tension or compression, thus accurately selecting the support rod, 'S'.
OUR PRODUCTS
Using this screen will result in a small drawdown. Drawdown, being the distance between the static water level and the dynamic water
level at a given pumping rate yield, 'Q'. The smaller the drawdown the less energy required to raise the water in the well. As a result
the operational costs will be low.
PIPAMAS screen are custom-built to suit each application for the type of material required and type of end connector fitting and to
strictly conform to API and other standards.
OUR PRODUCTS
The Safest material selection for a water well screen installation is SS.304, which is stronger than a low
carbon steel screen, and will resist corrosion to last much longer.
To determine the corrosive nature of the well, it is important that the acidity (Ph value) of the water
from the reservoir be calculated. By taking a water sample from the drilled well we can analyze it in our
laboratory to determine the Ph value. This allows us to fabricate screens to your individual well
characteristics to maximize production.
Having determined the material and the required collapse strength, tensile and column strength
calculations, manufacturing can commence.
PIPAMAS rod base screen of the all-welded continuous slot wedge wire type of construction is
produced by a sophisticated, electronically controlled welding fusion process. A number of support
rods, ‘S’, are fed horizontally into our screen fabricating machines, at regulated distances from each
other, forming a circle, then fusion-welded to a continuously wrapped on profile wire, ‘P’, producing a
screen with a continuous slot opening. When the profile wire intersects a support rod, fusion takes
place because of the large number of support rods, our screens have more welds per unit length of
screen, which result in an integrally stronger screen.
OUR PRODUCTS
Another important consideration is that this type of screen is constructed with V-shaped profile wire
angled inwards giving only a two point contact for particles of the formations sands which are almost
the slot size. This ensures that the formation particles will not wedge themselves into the slot, and
gradually plug-up the screen, as is the case with slotted pipes where the slots lie parallel and are
prone to plug.
PIPAMAS water well screens are produced from SS.304, SS.316 and Low Carbon Galvanized materials to
suit your requirements.
We carry large stocks and a comprehensive range of raw materials for fast deliveries.
OUR PRODUCTS
Shallow well points are currently supplying millions of people all around the world with fresh clean
water for household use and limited agricultural and feed stock needs.
To solve problems of construction site flooding, we also produce de watering point systems by making
small lengths which can be lowered into the ground, connected to a header pipe and pumped at the
surface, to lower the water table at the construction site.
By Installing a series of our well points, 1.75" or 2.5" O/D standards in lengths of 2' or 3', into ground
adjacent to where excavations have to be made, you can ensure safe working conditions.
Our de watering points are made out of SS 304 or Low Carbon Galvanized materials with drive points or
wash down nose at one end, with a nipple connection on the other which can be connected through
piping or flexible hoses to the header main.

Mining & Industrial Screen
PIPAMAS stationary and vibratory screens are manufactured in a variety of forms and measurements, as
required by the copper, coal, cement, iron ore, chemical, petrochemical and food industries.
Our engineers can visit your mine or plant to consult with our staff ass to your particular requirements
in order to anticipate and prevent problems once you have entered full scale production.
By detailed studies of the field conditions, our engineers can recommend a product designed to meet
your exact requirements.
We make flat, stationary, vibratory, curved and round screens with a frame construction to serve the
mining industry and suit all the related installation (see Fig.27-34). The majority of PIPAMAS screens are
made of stainless AISI.304, however for specific applications, we can recommend and construct high
quality alloy screens.
Almost all minerals mined have to undergo many wet process cycles, requiring the application of
screens. To select the most efficient type of screen unit design, we must understand the abrasive quality
of the ore to be handled and its tendency to splinter during crushing, if such a sample is available.
It is also necessary for us to be aware of the make, measurements and model of the machine in which
the screen panels are to be installed, as well as the rate and size of feed and the expected tonnage
throughout the process.
Our engineers can then manufacture screens to fit in your equipment and ensure that performance
requirements are met.
Our screen panels are manufactured to a rigid construction to avoid the development of secondary
vibrations (flexing) during operations, which cause premature failure at the screen weld surface due to
wear and tear.
OUR PRODUCTS
To obtain the desired tonnage throughput, without blinding or clogging, the screen panel must have
sufficient open areas.
Our screen panel is fully bending resistant through the use of a fin style support rod for added strength.
The size of the recommended support rod, center spacing and quality used will be dependent on the
final application and panel width. The wedge best suited for your installation, will be determined by our
technicians by balancing the open area needed to yield the required tonnage, dimension : 'H' (see
Fig.35), and wear life, dimension : 'W'. The by considering the abrasive factor of the material being
screened, and its tendency to clog we can custom-fabricate screen panel for your installation.
In order to guarantee that our screen panels have a longer wear life, while also maintaining the
specified slot dimensions as the panel progressively wear down its dimensions, most of the profile wires
selected for special applications have a larger cross-section and a smaller relief angle.
Since your feed material carries large particles, Skid Bars must be arranged on the front line panels of
the screen deck to absorb impact and prevent premature and uneven wear of the screens.
OUR PRODUCTS
Stationary mining screens tend to be more flexible and of simpler construction. Open areas for de
watering and wear life are the main design considerations.
Panels and screen surfaces can be custom constructed to any required size and can be supplied in a
form which meets your industry requirements. The screen surfaces can be made with a variety of end
frames: one, two or four sided steel frames of flat angle bar for mounting.
Our engineers can visit your installation, plant or mine site and discuss with your engineering staff any
problems you have with your current equipment and suggest solution, in the form of a proposal
particularly for our operational requirements to :
- Acquire the screening capacity required.
- Ensure minimum cost per ton produced.
- Design a screen construction to reach a long wear life.
PT Pipa Mas Putih has the capacity to construct a wide variety of mining and industrial screen surfaces
for the coal, copper, manganese, iron ore, tin, aluminum, sand & gravel quarries, cement, food
processing, water intake municipalities and many other areas on request.
