Understanding Stainless Steel Wedge Wire
What Is Stainless Steel Wedge Wire
Stainless steel wedge wire is also known as profile wire or V-wire. It is a type of wire formed in a V-shape or triangular cross-section. This wire is extensively used for filtration and screening purposes across sectors. Its elevated mechanical power, corrosion durability, and exact gap management make it highly effective. The distinctive profile allows for self-cleaning abilities. This makes it ideal for continuous flow setups. At Tianjin Jingzhou Metal Products Co., Ltd., our wedge wire is a flagship item.
Key Performance Features of Wedge Wire
Key characteristics include elevated power and structural integrity. The wire also offers superb corrosion and heat durability. It has exact slot openings for optimal filtration efficiency. These traits make stainless steel wedge wire a vital component in challenging industrial settings.
Common Applications of Wedge Wire
Industrial Filtration
Wedge wire mesh is recognized for its durability, elevated power, and corrosion resistance. It is extensively applied in sectors like water treatment, oil and gas, mining, food processing, and pulp and paper. Wedge wire screen (water well screen) boasts corrosion durability, safety, and reliability. It also has good heat durability, strong mechanical properties, and a prolonged service life.
Jewelry Decoration
Beyond heavy industry, wedge wires serve decorative uses such as jewelry-making. Their smooth geometric form supports this application. The exact finish allows designers to integrate them into modern accessories.
Medical Devices
The medical sector benefits from stainless steel wedge wires’ clean properties. These wires offer superb corrosion durability and biocompatibility, especially with grades like 316L. The material is essential in a range of applications, including surgical instruments, orthopedic implants, dental equipment and diagnostic equipment.
Choosing the Right Wedge Wire for Your Needs
Factors to Consider: Grade, Slot Size, Structure Type
Selecting the appropriate stainless steel wedge wire requires evaluating key parameters:
- Grade: 304 and 316L are common options due to their corrosion durability. Yet, in severe settings, high-grade alloys like 904L, Duplex, and Super Duplex are more and more chosen for prolonged service life.
- Slot Size: This determines filtration exactness. It must match particle size needs.
- Structure Type: Flat or cylindrical setups influence flow rate and structural support.
Tianjin Jingzhou Metal Products Co., Ltd. Wedge Wire Types
Wedge Wire-W102
This type’s wedge wire screens feature V-shaped wires with uniform gaps for filtration. Support bars run perpendicular across these wires, preventing sagging and deformation. Support bar positions are customized to control flow direction. Used widely in food, chemical, water treatment, and oil/gas industries.
Wedge Wire-W106
Wedge wire (V-shaped wire) forms the core of wedge wire screens. Its V-shaped cross-section creates consistent, clog-resistant slots for filtering solids from liquids. This design enables high flow rates and durability in applications like water treatment, mining, and food processing by controlling flow while preventing blockages.
Wedge Wire-W107
Its support rods are corrosion-resistant stainless steel/alloy components providing structural integrity to wedge wire screens. Custom shapes ensure precise wire alignment. They bear loads, maintain uniform gaps via precision welding, optimize fluid flow, and withstand high-pressure filtration. Used in mining, oil/gas, water treatment, and industrial separation.
