Bridge slot screens have openings arranged in rows and are staggered to reduce the negative effect on the screen's strength. Typically the slots are punched in a flat sheet that is subsequently rolled into a tube and welded.
Advantages offered by this type of screen are:

High strength through resistance to twisting, compressive, and tensile forces
A smooth bore that does not impede the passage of probes, tools, etc.

Applications: Formations with large particle sizes,large wells,low to medium flow rates, slot sizes.

Between 0.5 mm / 0.002 in. and 5mm / 0.2 in., depending on the wall thickness
Materials of construction.
All types of steel such as carbon steel, galvanized steel, coated steel and stainless steel.
