Wedge wire calculators and converters

Seven free tools for screen engineers: a mesh, micron, millimetre and inch converter, an open area calculator, a water well screen calculator, intake screen sizing, rooftop rainwater filter sizing, a lauter tun false bottom calculator and a screen material selector. Each sends its result to an engineer in one click.

Intake screen calculator for through-slot velocity

The intake screen calculator sizes a passive wedge wire intake screen from the design flow, the maximum through-slot velocity, the slot and the wire profile.

Open the tool

Lauter tun calculator for false bottom sizing

The lauter tun calculator gives a starting size for a wedge wire false bottom.

Screen material selector for wedge wire

The screen material selector gives an indicative wedge wire grade from the chloride level, temperature, pH and process medium.

Mesh to micron converter

The mesh to micron converter takes a mesh count, or a value in microns, millimetres or inches, and returns every other unit, the nearest standard sieves and the equivalent wedge wire slot.

Open the tool

Open area calculator for wedge wire, plate and mesh

The open area calculator works out the open area of a wedge wire screen from the slot and the profile wire width, and compares it with perforated plate and woven mesh at the same opening.

Open the tool

Rooftop rainwater filter calculator

The rainwater filter calculator sizes a rooftop rainwater harvesting filter.

Open the tool

Water well screen calculator

The well screen calculator sizes a water well screen from the well yield, screen diameter, slot and wire profile.
