Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between API 7K and non-API shale shaker screens?
A: API 7K is a standard that specifies dimensional and performance requirements for shale shaker screens. Screens built to API 7K ensure consistent fit, strength, and filtration performance. Our screens can be manufactured to meet API 7K specifications upon request; otherwise, they follow standard industry dimensions with equal quality. -
Q: Can I get a custom screen size?
A: Yes, we offer custom sizes and mesh configurations. Please provide your shaker model or screen dimensions, and we will produce a suitable solution. Minimum order quantities may apply for non-standard sizes. -
Q: Which material is better – 304 or 316L stainless steel?
A: Both are corrosion-resistant. 316L offers higher resistance to chlorides and acidic environments, making it ideal for H2S or high-salinity mud. 304 is more economical. We recommend based on your drilling fluid chemistry. -
Q: How long does a typical shaker screen last?
A: Lifespan depends on operating conditions (vibration frequency, solids load, fluid type). Under normal conditions, our screens typically last 150–300 hours. We can advise on screen selection to maximize longevity. -
Q: Do you offer pretensioned screens with a backing plate?
A: Yes, we supply pretensioned screens with a perforated metal backing plate for extra rigidity. These are suitable for high-G shakers. Hookstrip screens without backing are also available. -
Q: What is your packaging and shipping method?
A: Screens are packed in sturdy plywood pallets or cartons with foam protection to prevent damage during transit. We ship from Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, or Foshan ports via sea or air, depending on your urgency. -
Q: Can I request a sample before bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We provide samples for evaluation. Sample cost is negotiable, and shipping is at your account. Once quality is confirmed, we can proceed with production. -
Q: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, MOQ is typically 10 pieces. For custom sizes, MOQ may be 50 pieces. However, we can discuss based on your project needs.
