The standard construction of the reverse rolled wedge wire screen is as follows: slot direction is axial and the filtration direction is from the inside towards the outside. The smooth surface is on the inside and support profiles are outside.
Wedge wire screen are very effective in wells of this type since they can be manufactured with very small slot size and yet still maintain the necessary open area to minimize friction head loss. Most continuous wire wrap screen is manufactured from stainless steel rather than carbon steel in order to avoid problems which often leads to accelerated corrosion.
