Replace API shaker screens are the screens for the different model and make shakers. The screens conform to API RP13C

Replace API shaker screens

API Shaker screens are the screen panels for shale shaker and conform to API RP13C. The API size including API 10, API 20, API 40, API 100, API 230, API 300, and so on. We talked about API size many times before, it is a cut point or separation point range sized microns.

For example, API 100 means the screen opening size is 137.5~165 microns. So different screen manufactures may produce API 100 with  140microns, 154 microns, and  160 microns, and so on. However, all of them are API 100 based on D100 cut point rule

There are many replacement shaker screen at AIPU

Aipu is professional manufacturer on solids control and shaker screens. There are hundred of shaker screen types all over the world. We can manufacture almost different screen for different makes and model

Such as the screen replacement for NOV Brandt Cobra, and VSM300, for M-I SWACO Mongoose&MD, for Derrick FLC500&HYP and so on.

The popular size including API 40, API 80, API 100, API 120, API 140, API 170, API 200, API 230, API 270. Others sizes are not as hot as these. Please let us know if you have a special requirement

Why you need API Shaker screen?

Replace API shaker screens ensure a relatively same cut point. For example, API 100 cut point is 137.5~160μm D100. For example, when a well is drilled at a certain depth under a certain ground condition the drilling cuttings generated as 137.5~160mcirons we need API 100 screen to remove the solids

If we use shaker screen conformed to API RP13C the cuttings will be separated out of drilling fluids as we expected. If we don't use API conformed screen, we use market grade mesh the result may be different with our expectation and clean mud may not meet further requirement

API mesh size is a standard to make screen selection easy. It's necessary to tell supplier or manufacturer API size of screen for a better solution.

New API shaker screen designation

API Shaker screen designation predecessor

Shale shaker screens made of two or three layers of screen cloth of different mesh sizes present openings that cannot be easily characterized. A technique to describe these openings has been adopted by the API as the ‘‘Recommended Practice for Designations of Shale Shaker Screens,’’ API RP 13C, has been issued decade. This recommended practice supersedes the second edition (1985) of API RP 13E, which was valid for only single-layer screens.

The new API shaker screen designation system was chosen to convey information on screen opening size distribution and the ability of non-vibrating screens to pass fluid. Information for each of the following is legibly stamped on a tag attached to the screen panel in such a way as to be visible after the screen is installed on the shale shaker:

. Manufacturer’s designation . API number

. Flow capacity

. Screen conductance

. Conductance

. Total non-blanked area

Manufacturer’s Designation

The screen manufacturer may name a particular screen in any manner it desires. This designation is used when ordering a shaker screen with particular characteristics.

Shaker screen designation has been complicated by the advent of multi- layered screens. When two or three screens are layered together, the opening sizes are not uniform. Experience has shown that the flow rate through these layered screens is much higher than anticipated, and the solids-removal rate is maintained. Since the screens have different irregular shapes, the standard mesh equivalent cannot be used to describe the screens. API RP 13C was recently rewritten by a task group composed of most of the authors of this book. The task group selected a mechanical method of designating shale shaker screens and comparing them to equivalent square mesh opening sizes. This section describes this method for determining the API U.S. sieve number equivalent of a shaker screen using a laboratory sieve shaker, U.S. Standard Test Sieves, and sized grit samples. Screens are rated on the U.S. sieve number scale by the separations they achieve in dry sieving standard grit samples and comparing these separations to the separations of the same standard grit samples with standard U.S. sieves.

For example, a shaker screen that separates the grit sample similar to a U.S. 100 mesh test sieve is designated an API 100.
