Complete Line of OEM Replacement Shaker Screens

Shaker Screens
Your First Line of Defense
Shaker Screens are used during the well construction phase of every
drilling project and in conjunction with the Shale Shaker are the
first line of defense in solids removal from the drilling fluid system.
Using proprietary mesh technology our products deliver reliable
solids removal capability combined with high fluid processing rates
and outstanding operational life.

API RP 13C (ISO 13501)
Reference Chart
D100 Separation and API Screen
Number
As an independent replacement screen manufacturer, Screen Tech
International has taken extensive steps to follow the guidelines
established by the American Petroleum Institute for proper labeling
with “Replacement Shaker Screens”. API RP13C compliance in the
testing procedure means that manufacturers test certain meshes
using the spelled criteria within the test. The manufacturers then
label both their screens and their screen packaging with the results
of the test and are then API compliant. The procedure tests mesh
performance down to a specific micron. That micron number falls
into a range of microns. Screen tech International compliant meshes
are listed above, along with Table 5, page 40 and 41 of the testing
procedure to show the breakdown of API numbers and the range of
microns that fall within the API number.
Please note: Screen Tech International acknowledges that lab tests
and actual performance of the screen in the field are completely
separate, and not to be interpreted as being the same. The API
designation is merely a unified labeling system set out to provide a
common thread amongst all of the screen manufacturers. In no way
does the API designation determine actual screen life, or the ability
of one screen to outperform another.

Some misunderstood things about Shale Shakers.

“Replacement Screens Will VOID a Warranty”
The Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) are trying to force the issue on using their screens on their own equipment. It has been said that in most cases the OEM will cancel
the warranty on their shakers if you do not use their screen. It is our understanding that NONE of the OEM ever warranted their shaker baskets. To our knowledge, when asked,
they will admit the shaker frame or bed is warranted for defects such as cracking, warping etc., but not for wear.

“Replacement Screens Will Ruin the Shaker Basket”
All screens wear out the cushions, support rubbers, seals, cross and side supports etc. of the shale shaker. When asked about replacement screens, OEM’s cite that wear on these
items occur faster using screens other than OEM screens. We must remember that these items are expendable items and are to be replaced at frequent intervals. How quickly
depends on several factors. Screens cannot be the sole factor considered for replacement of these items.

“The “Replacement” screens are heavier than the OEM screens, thus somehow impacting the life
and performance of the shaker.”
Every manufacturer of shaker screens builds their screens in a different manner. Some screens are lighter than others, and some screens are heavier than others. Some are made of a
lightweight composite material, while some are made from steel tubing. The myth here is that the weight difference between the OEM vs. Replacement Screen would somehow
affect the life of the shaker itself.
For these purposes, let me offer you the following example:
If a shale shaker is under normal operating conditions, the shaker bed will be flooded with at least 50 gallons of fluid. Some shakers will run 84 gallons of fluid. At 10ppg this
equals 840 pounds displaced over the 4 screens, an average of 210 pounds of fluid per screen.
Now, does anyone really think 8-10 pounds in screen weight will matter?
If so, how can the shaker withstand 17ppg mud weight with an average of 357 pounds of fluid per screen?
As you can see the weight between OEM screens vs. “Replacement” screens really does not impact the shaker in field application.

There are a number of other myths about screens and shakers. Just remember when you hear the next tidbit of “free
advice”, be sure and “check the price.”
