Rigorous QC System – Keep It in Tolerance

A worker is testing the slot size of wedge wire screen tube.

To ensure the quality and performance of wedge wire products, a comprehensive Quality Control (QC) system should be implemented. Here are some key aspects that should be tested and monitored under a QC system for wedge wire.

QC – Dimensional Accuracy

Check the dimensions of the wedge wire screens, including slot size, width, length, diameter, and overall shape, to ensure they meet the specified tolerances.
