Solids Control API Shale Shaker Screen Polyurethane Frame

API screen information

API screen means the shaker screen mesh size conforms to API RP13C. We know there are so many different models and makes of screen.

For API shaker screen information. Mainly including the cut point, conductance, non blanked area. But the key issue is the cut point. The cut point reflects how big solid can be filtered out of drilling fluid. API number of shaker screen indicates a range of drilling cuttings will be separated out completely.

For example, API 140 screen means this screen can filter particles 98-116.5 microns out. So, we found DX175 and HP180 mesh designation are both API 140 conformance. Furthermore, DX and HP mesh configurations are available for almost all replacement shaker screens. That means API screen size won’t be affected by shaker screen makes or model

Polyurethane screen plate belongs to mine equipment, which is used in mining and quarrying plants combined with vibrating screen and other mining equipment.

Chemical composition: Polyurethane

Chinese Name: Polyurethane

The structure of polyurethane: Polyurethane

Classification: Polyurethane dehydrated screen and polyurethane strip slit screen plate

Source: polymer compound formed by the interaction of binary or polyisocyanate with binary or polyhydroxy compounds.

According to the structure of polyurethane screen plate, there are four types:

• Mosaic
• Bolted connection
• Strip connection
• Screen hook connection

Polyurethane wire mesh (wrapped with metal wire and core wire welding net support net) has a beautiful appearance, bright color, lightweight, high mechanical strength, heat insulation, sound insulation, corrosion resistance, and excellent weather resistance, without secondary decoration and various colors.

• 1. The tensile strength, tear resistance, wear resistance, rebound, compression deformation is small, and the service life is long.
• 2. Strong binding force with metal matrix, not easy to start and remove
• 3. High surface finish and stable size. A high-strength composite screen, belonging to the technical field of screening equipment, is used to solve the problems of low strength and short service life of ordinary wire mesh.

The utility model is composed of a web and a supporting net, which is improved in that the net is a metal mesh and a support net is a polyurethane support net. The polyurethane support net is located under the metal mesh, and it is a grid with a vertical and horizontal intersection, and the longitude and weft stripes are composed of steel wire rope core and polyurethane surface. The above-mentioned improvement gives the utility model a good performance different from the common metal screen. It has high strength, rigidity, and bearing capacity, and can effectively reduce vibration noise and improve the service life of the screen. The utility model can be made into various shape screening devices, especially for high-frequency vibrating screens with electromagnetic excitation. It can be widely used in screening, filtration, dehydration, desilting, and other operations in many industries.

• 8mmx5mm hole 1.2m X5 M
• 8mmx12mm hole 1.5m X5 M
• 8mmx20mm hole 2m X5 M

It is suitable for vibration screens of metallurgy, coal, chemical industry, construction, and other departments. It is used as fine-grained screening in bulk materials, dry and astringent. It can also be used for the classification of some corrosive materials.

Different mesh with same API number

API RP 13C aimed to give clear and standard guidance on-screen selection and exchange. Different shaker screen manufacturers will fabricate screens with different mesh configurations. And they will have a certain part name or part number.

Take NOV Brandt RDH 280 as an example and the M-I SWACO XR270. They are different mesh sizes of different shaker screen models. However, they are both the same API 140 as DF-A140 and DX-A140. 

Just as we talked before, API size mainly and generally gives us a standard cut point range. There is no exact standard to tell us how much conductance or non blanked area.

Other information about API screen mesh difference

Even with the same manufacturer, they will have many different meshes with the same API size screen. On the NOV Brandt VSM300 screen, there is a PXL series screen, the RHD screen, as well as the XF screen. The difference includes the different mesh configurations, the screen pattern, the screen layers, the diameter, etc.
