New API standards clarify shaker screens - An API Task Group recently completed a 5-year project to define shaker screens, and serve as the basis for international standards

摘要

Initially shaker screens were easy to describe. They were square mesh made with market grade wire. Mesh is defined as the number of openings per square inch. The size of solids moving through the screen depends on mesh and on the diameter of the wire. The openings (and solids that pass through) are larger if the wire has a small diameter.
