Atlas wedge wire screen has mainly four wire constructions for control of water or liquid flow.
Wedge Screen Construction is defined by:
Selection from available profile wires
Selection from available support bars
Weldability between selected profile wire and support bar
Desirable support bar pitch (choices limited by available tooling)
Wedge screen constructions correspond with the follow drawings respectively:
1. Standard construction: The flow goes from outward to inside. Vertical rod support.
2. Axial wire construction: The water or liquid flows from outside to inside. Horizontal rod support.
3. Internal circumferential wire construction: The flow goes from inside to outside of the wedge wire screen. Outside rod support.
4. Inverwire construction. From inside to outside. Reverse flow.
Product Performance
1. Continuous opening has greatly increased the water flow area, so offers a better contact with the aquifer.
2. V-type profile of the structure to avoid clogging and ensure smooth flow.
3. Continuous long-term effective use of the pore.
4. Trapezoidal filter pipe offers a solid structure, high porosity, and accurate poring.
5. Trapezoidal wire filter pipe is easy for washing, long service life, safe, reliable, comprehensive and low cost.
Benefits of Wedge Wire Construction
1. porosity, high filtration tubes more suitable for the construction of high efficiency of water, oil and gas wells.
2. running cost is low porosity, high filtration tubes are more conducive to groundwater inflow, the abundant amount of water makes the water level drawdown reduced, thereby reducing energy consumption.
3. reducing the wear of the pump under the same conditions, the high porosity makes the groundwater in the infiltration of water treatment controls, the rate of penetration other than when the filter much slower and more so to avoid the sand in a larger pressure into the filter pipe, reducing pump wear and tear.
4. to extend the life of wells relative terms, infiltration of groundwater into the treatment of high porosity filter tube easier, the flow rate is low, to extend the life of wells.
