The collapse resistance of single screen with a normal radial construction:

Collapse Δ P (bar)

(He / OD)3 x 220 x 19600 x (1 – OA /100)

X 100

He = Equivalent height wire -- OD = Outside Diameter -- OA = Open Area

 

 

 

 

The tensile strength of normal single screen:

Tensile (tons)

A-rod x N-rod x Rm

X 100

1000

A-rod = Square cut surface of rod  -- N-rod = Number of Rods – Rm = Tensile material (kg/mm2)
