  • Patent number: 6263970
    Abstract: A wellhead device for the isolation of solid particles carried by production fluid includes a closed housing to be integrated with a wellhead element, a lining tightly fixed on the inner wall of the body producing the fluid upstream of the side outlet(s) provided with the valves, and a cylindrical partition arranged inside the housing around the lining, from which it is separated by a second ring-shaped space. First openings are provided in the upper portion of the partition above the lining, second openings are provided in the lower portion of the partition, and a filter is arranged inside the housing at the periphery of the partition lower portion, opposite the second openings. The filter is arranged such that all the fluid entering through the first partition openings into the volume separating this partition from the housing outer portion passes through the filter before entering the second ring-shaped volume through the partition second openings.
