SB Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire
Short Description:
SB Stainless Steel Wedge Profile Wire is a standard V-shaped working wire used for wedge wire screens, filter panels, screen cylinders and industrial separation systems. SAKY STEEL supplies SB profiles such as SB6, SB8, SB10, SB12, SB22, SB28, SB34 and SB42 in stainless steel grades including 304 and 316, with profile dimensions, tolerances and delivery forms reviewed according to customer drawings and screen requirements.
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 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 |
Stainless Steel Profile Wire Reference
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 |
SB Wedge Wire Manufacturing & Inspection

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.
