SB Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire

SB Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire Overview

SB Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire is a standard V-shaped working surface wire used in wedge wire screens, filter elements, screen cylinders and industrial separation equipment.

Compared with heavier SBB profiles, the SB series uses a lighter wedge section and is commonly selected where low flow resistance, good open-area efficiency and standard screening strength are required.

SAKY STEEL supplies SB profile wire in stainless steel grades such as 304 and 316. Profile designation, dimensions, tolerance, surface condition and supply form can be reviewed according to screen design and customer drawings.

SB Standard Wedge Profile Characteristics

Feature SB Profile Characteristic
Standard V Profile Wedge-shaped working surface designed for screen and filtration applications.
Low Flow Resistance The wedge profile helps fluid and fine particles pass through the screen slot efficiently.
Anti-Clogging Geometry The tapered profile helps reduce particle wedging compared with parallel-sided screen openings.
Lower Section Weight SB profiles are generally lighter than corresponding heavy-duty SBB sections.
Good Open Area Suitable for screen designs where filtration capacity and open-area efficiency are important.

SB Wedge Wire Profile Series

Common SB profile designations include SB6, SB8, SB10, SB12, SB22, SB28, SB34 and SB42. Exact profile dimensions should be confirmed according to the selected screen system or approved drawing.

SB Type Profile Size Reference
SB6 Standard Wedge Profile Confirm According to Profile Specification
SB8 Standard Wedge Profile Confirm According to Profile Specification
SB10 Standard Wedge Profile Confirm According to Profile Specification
SB12 Standard Wedge Profile Confirm According to Profile Specification
SB22 Standard Wedge Profile 1.5 × 3.7 mm
SB28 Standard Wedge Profile 2.2 × 4.5 mm

SB vs SBB Wedge Profile Wire

Feature SB SBB
Profile Design Standard wedge profile Heavy-duty reinforced wedge profile
Section Weight Lower Higher
Open Area Generally better for equivalent slot arrangement May be lower due to heavier section
Load Capacity General screening duty Higher-load and abrasive service
Typical Applications Food, sugar, water treatment and general filtration Mining, dewatering and centrifuge baskets

304 vs 316 SB Wedge Wire

Grade Main Characteristic Typical Selection
304 Good general corrosion resistance and economical material selection Food, general filtration and industrial screens
316 Improved resistance in chloride-containing and more corrosive environments Water treatment, chemical processing and wet-service screening

SAKY STEEL supplies different precision stainless steel profile wires. The following images show representative shaped-wire products and surface conditions. Final SB geometry should follow the required SB designation or customer drawing.

Custom SB Profile Dimensions

For non-standard SB wedge profiles, a cross-sectional drawing is recommended. Working width, profile height, taper and lower welding geometry can affect slot design and finished screen performance.

Profile Parameter Information to Specify
SB Type SB6 / SB8 / SB10 / SB12 / SB22 / SB28 / SB34 / SB42
Working Width Top surface width of the wedge profile
Profile Height Overall finished profile height
Lower Section Welding-side geometry and contact width
Tolerance Critical dimensional tolerance requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SB wedge wire?

SB is a standard V-shaped working profile wire used in wedge wire screens and filtration systems.

What is the difference between SB and SBB?

SB is generally lighter and suitable for standard screening duty, while SBB uses a heavier reinforced profile for higher loads and abrasive service.

What are SB22 and SB28 sizes?

The supplied reference lists SB22 as 1.5 × 3.7 mm and SB28 as 2.2 × 4.5 mm. Other SB dimensions should be confirmed according to the selected profile system.

Can custom SB profiles be supplied?

Yes. Custom profile requirements can be reviewed according to the required cross section, dimensions, tolerance and downstream screen design.
