Wire and Rod Information

A wide range of wire and rod shapes make it possible to achieve the optimum balance of strength, open area, abrasion resistance and dewatering/separation efficiency.

Johnson Screens® Round and Strip Support Rods
Johnson Screens round rods are available in diameters ranging from 0.125 In. (3.175 mm) to 0.500 in. (12.7 mm). Strip rods are available in widths from 0.070 in. (1.778 mm) to 0.188 in. (4.775 mm) and heights ranging from 0.375 in. (9.525 mm) to 2.0 in. (50.8 mm).
 
Open area calculations
To calculate the open area of a certain screen, use the simple formula provided
 
                                                       Open Area (%) =       Slot Size * 100
                                                                                 Slot size + Wire width
