Stainless Steel Wedge Wire Screen Tube

Product Introduction

Stainless steel wedge wire screen tube, also known as Johnson screen tube, is a precision welded filter cylinder. It is constructed by continuous V-shaped profile wedge wires welded perpendicularly onto longitudinal support rods, forming uniform continuous slots. It is widely used for solid-liquid separation, sand control, water intake and medium filtration. The smooth outer filtering surface helps reduce particle trapping and allows easy backwashing, which is a high-efficiency metal filter element for industrial and water well systems.

FAQ

Q1: What information do you need for quotation?

A: Material grade, outer diameter, length, slot opening, end connection, working medium, pressure and quantity. Drawing is highly appreciated.


Q2: What is your minimum slot size?

A: The smallest slot we can make is 0.05 mm. The slot will be suggested according to your particle size.


Q3: Can you make special thread / flange ends?

A: Yes. Plain end, NPT thread, BSP thread, custom flange, coupling and special adapters are all available.


Q4: How to clean wedge wire screen tube?

A: Mainly backwash with water or air reverse flow. Stubborn dirt can use soft brush or compatible chemical cleaning. The V-shaped slot is anti-blocking and easy to clean.


Q5: What is the difference between wedge wire tube and woven mesh filter tube?

A: Wedge wire tube has higher strength, larger open area, anti-clogging continuous slot, better pressure resistance and longer service life. Woven mesh is usually for finer low-pressure filtration.


Q6: What is the lead time? MOQ?

A: Sample: 3–7 days. Mass order: 15–25 days. Low MOQ, we accept small trial orders.


Q7: Which material should I choose?

A: SS304 for normal fresh water; SS316L for general corrosive water, food & pharma; 2205/2507 duplex steel for seawater, high chloride environment; Hastelloy for strong acid medium.


Q8: Can you provide test certificates?

A: Yes, material certificate (3.1), dimension inspection report and packing photos can be supplied.

RELATED FAQ
What is Wedge Wire Screen Tube?

The wedge wire filter element is a filter element composed of a "V" shaped stainless steel wire and a stainless steel support strip. Its smooth surface is the filter surface, and the gap is a strip, which belongs to the surface filtration form.

What are the primary applications of wedge wire Screen Tube?

Wedge wire filter elements are widely used in many fields, mainly including petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, water treatment.

What is the difference between wedge wire filter elements and other wire mesh filter elements?

The wedge-shaped wire filter element has a higher filtration efficiency and can achieve extremely high filtration effects by controlling the particle gaps of the wedge-shaped mesh.


The wedge-shaped wire filter element is suitable for high-flow and high-pressure industrial filtration occasions, especially for industrial water, drinking water purification, sand separation and treatment, sewage treatment and other fields.

What is the material of wedge wire?

The main material of wedge wire is stainless steel. Specifically, wedge wire is usually made of high-quality stainless steel materials, such as 302, 304, 304L, 316L, etc.

Where are wedge wire screen tube used?

Industries include water treatment, oil and gas, pulp and paper, mining, and food and beverage.

What is the expected lifespan of wedge wire screen tube?

With proper maintenance, wedge wire screens can have a long lifespan, often exceeding 10 years.

What is a perforated metal anti-skid plate?

A perforated metal anti-skid plate is a type of metal plate that combines a perforated design with anti-slip or anti-skid features. 

Where are perforated metal anti-skid plates used?

Industrial Flooring:

Used in factories, warehouses, and production lines as flooring or walkways to provide a non-slip surface for workers.

Staircases and Platforms:

Used for stairs, ladders, and elevated platforms to provide safe access and reduce the risk of slips and falls.

Vehicle and Transport Decks:

Commonly used in trucks, trailers, or shipping containers to create a stable, non-slip surface for cargo handling.

Outdoor and Marine Applications:

Used in outdoor environments such as docks, walkways, and industrial outdoor installations where water or mud can create slippery conditions.

What are the common types of perforated metal sheets?

Perforated Sheet with Raised Patterns: Features raised sections in the perforated pattern for enhanced anti-slip properties.

Serrated Metal Plate: Uses serrated edges or a textured surface in combination with perforations to improve skid resistance.

What is the material of perforated metal sheet?

▪Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion and durable, ideal for harsh environments like marine, chemical, or food processing industries.

▪Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, commonly used in transportation, aerospace, and exterior architectural applications.

▪Carbon Steel: Strong and cost-effective, often used in industrial and construction settings.
