Follow on Google News | Shaker screen standard API number and mesh sizeWe often get some inquiries from potential clients. They have doubt on shaker screen standard mesh size. Some of them are confused by mesh size and API number. Lets find some information on shaker scree mesh size as below
By: Apple Shaker Screen,Oil and Gas Journal The distribution of openings does not give a good picture of performance because the small cuttings do not seek only holes their size. Many go through the large openings. However, if a screen is labeled a 200 mesh, it should retain particles larger than 75 µm. Testing with the new API procedure revealed that many of the screens that were labeled as 200s were not retaining particles that were 150 µm in size. Needless to say, many manufacturers were very upset because screen designations had to be changed from 200 to 80.(http://appshakerscreen.com/ Based on these information and new API executive code we produce shaker screens for various drillings. Such as the oilfield petroleum drilling , gas drilling ,etc. Clients or user will select the accurate mesh size or API number screen for optimal solution on sepration. As an International Organization for Standardization document the concept of “mesh” would make no sense. “Mesh” is defined as the number of openings per inch in each direction. Changing to metric units would mean that the “mesh” would need to be openings per millimeter. Clearly, rig hands would have trouble translating this from their previous knowledge base.(http://appshakerscreen.com/ This is the reason that the new screen designation is the alternative designation of an API number. An API200 screen would have the equivalent of a 200 mesh opening. Below that number, the actual measured largest particles retained on the screen would be recorded in microns. The word “mesh” is no longer being used to describe shaker screens. While the new API RP 13C does not give any information about performance, it would seem reasonable that a screen that retains 75 µm dry particles would remove more solids than a screen which lets all of those particles pass through. Many clients will have question on standard screen mesh size. What is the standard? How to find standard mesh screen? Actually, API described mesh size with a range of cut point size. So, if the screen opening is in accordance with the mesh size range it will be ok and can be called standard shaker screen cloth.(http://www.appleshakerscreen.com/?
