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.

Request SB Wedge Wire Quote| 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. |
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.

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.
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.

SB is a standard V-shaped working profile wire used in wedge wire screens and filtration systems.
SB is generally lighter and suitable for standard screening duty, while SBB uses a heavier reinforced profile for higher loads and abrasive service.
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.
Yes. Custom profile requirements can be reviewed according to the required cross section, dimensions, tolerance and downstream screen design.
Send your SB type or profile drawing, grade, dimensions, tolerance, quantity and destination. SAKY STEEL will review the profile requirements before confirming the offer.
