Wedge Wire Screen Terminologies Data

Here we will provide terminologies data for wedge wire screens.

Profile Wire 

Profile wire is rolled from a round wire through a series of rolling and annealing operations.

Profile Wire also known as wedge wire, V-wire, Tri-wire or surface profiles. The wedge shape of Profile Wires provides a large opening for material to flow between the wires.

The profile wire sizes please check the data sheet

Support Rod

Support wire is rolled from a round wire through a series of rolling and annealing operations. It is also known as support profiles, onto which surface profiles are resistance welded. Support rod includes triangle wire, round bar, flat bar and wedge wire.

The support rod sizes please check the data sheet

Slot Size

It means the clear distance between any two adjacent profile wires. Slot size is controlled very accurately as it forms the slot through which the filtrate flows.

The Opening Comparison Chart (below) can be used to convert opening units.
