Roscoe Moss Company is the only company in the world that produces
casings designed specifically for water wells.
Our casings are fabricated in sizes to most efficiently accommodate
pump assemblies and are manufactured from steel alloys proved best
suited for ground water development. A summary of steel types and
applications are shown below:

For water wells where corrosive elements limit the
effective life of carbon, copper-bearing, and HSLA
steels. Stainless steel is particularly resistant to
the detrimental effects of hydrogen sulfide, carbon
dioxide, and saline water. Removal of incrustation
by acidizing, a method not recommended for some
other steels, may be accomplished in stainless steel
screens. |
|
HSLA |
Corrosion resistant, HSLA (High-Strength Low-Alloy)
steel casings and screens are designed and produced
for use in water wells where corrosion resistance,
strength, and durability are important requirements.
Stronger than carbon or copper-bearing steel, HSLA
casing and screen are excellent choices for deep,
large diameter wells. Although more corrosion
resistant than carbon or copper-bearing steel, in
wells where severe corrosive elements are present,
an analysis must be made before selecting this
material over stainless steel. |
|
Copper-Bearing |
For use in water wells where resistance to corrosion
is an important requirement. Although not as corrosion
resistant as HSLA or stainless steel, copper-bearing
casings and screens have proven to last longer than
other carbon steel products. |
|
Low Carbon |
When economy as well as strength and efficiency are
important requirements. |

All MossWell casings are fabricated by the spiral process utilizing
double, submerged-arc welding. This method offers special advantages
including; accurate geometrical tolerances, increased strength (due to
wall thickness reinforcement of the fusion weld), and assurance of
full weld penetration of the seam.
Casing ends are generally prepared for field assembly with factory-attached weld collars. This provides greater joint strength and economy
than possible with other types of joints. Additionally, ease and speed of
installation are greater compared with plain end welded connections.
