Wedge Wire screen

Wedge Wire screen is made with iwedge wire welded with support rod. The supporting rod can be round wire, triangular wire or trapezoid wire. The Wedge Wire screen is made of triangular wire (V-shaped wire). Well screens have a structure and high opening area, as well as accurate slot dimension.

Features of Wedge Wire screen

1. Screens with high open area are more suitable for the construction of high-quality water wells, oil wells and gas wells.
2. Low cost operation Screens with high open area shall favor groundwater infiltration. Abundant water shall reduce the water level’s down, thus to save energy consumption
3. Reduce the abrasion of the pump Under the same condition, high open area can make the speed of groundwater’s entering into the screen much slower than any other filtration apparatus, which will avoid sand’s entering into screen because of high pressure, thus reduce the abrasion of the pump.
4. Extend the life span of wells Comparatively, groundwater’s entering into screen with higher open area is much easier than the entering into lower open area screen. The slow water flow shall extend the life span of wells.

Application of Wedge Wire screen

The continuous-slot well screen strainer is recommended in the following situations:
Formation comprised of small or fine particles
Water wells where gravel packs will be installed
Thin aquifers, where maximum open area is required
Small diameter wells
