Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the exact mesh size of this API 20 screen?
A: API 20 corresponds to a nominal mesh opening of approximately 840 microns (20 openings per inch). Actual opening may vary slightly depending on wire diameter and weave pattern, but it complies with API RP 13C standard. -
Q: Can this screen be used on a Brandt or Derrick shaker?
A: Yes, the 4x5 ft dimension is a common size for many single deck shakers. However, we recommend checking the basket dimensions and hook strip type of your equipment. We can also customize the edge style to match your shaker. -
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this screen?
A: Lifespan depends on drilling fluid properties, solids load, and operating conditions. With proper handling, a 316L screen can last 2-4 weeks in continuous operation. Regular cleaning and inspection can extend service life. -
