Well Screens & Wedge Wire Screens

Wedge wire screen, also called wire-wrapped screen, is a type of filtration medium commonly used in various industrial applications, including water treatment, mining, and oil & gas extraction. It consists of a series of parallel V-shaped wire profiles that are welded to the support rods. This design allows for effective filtration while maintaining high flow rates.In well drilling, wedge wire screens are often used as sand control devices. They prevent the ingress of sand and other particulate matter into the well.
