The end types of wedge wire screen tubes or cylinders can vary based on the specific application and installation requirements. Here are some common end types:
Plain End | The plain end type refers to a straight cut at the end of the wedge wire screen tube or cylinder. This is the simplest and most common end type. |
Flanged End | In a flanged end type, the end of the wedge wire screen tube or cylinder is shaped with a flange. The flange provides a larger surface area, allowing for easier attachment to other components using bolts or clamps. |
Threaded End | Some wedge wire screen tubes or cylinders may have threaded ends, which feature external threads on the end surface. These threads allow for direct screwing into mating components or fittings, facilitating quick and convenient installation or removal. |
Closed End | A closed end type means that one end of the wedge wire screen tube or cylinder is sealed or closed. This can be achieved by welding a plate or cap to the end, forming a solid barrier. Closed ends are useful when the filtration process requires directing the flow through the entire length of the cylinder, forcing it to exit through the open end. |
