We have found the following label on screens on desiler unit:
120 mesh
GN Solids Control
Size 900x750 mm
We did not find any labels or signs on screens on the shale shaker so we are not sure what is there. Please check at your engineering department and maybe they will confirm to you. Questions:
- what API number is for 120 mesh screens?
- What API number is for 40 mesh screen?

Please comment what does it mean 120 mesh?
If this is 120 mesh, what is API number for these screens and what is D100 separation value (in microns)? Please comment. Actually according our technology, following derrick wiring tech, normally 40mesh is API40, 120mesh is API120, unless different screening technology is required, can not always reverse.
Pls refer our brochure here http://gnshakerscreen.com/images/GN%20Shaker%20Screen.pdf and derrcik screen brochure. We ordered two different types of screens and received all screens the same (API 40, 394 microns). Please comment why we received not the same screens as ordered by our company.
And please be so kind and comment what does it mean API 40? If API 40, so what is a value of mesh ? http://www.halliburton.com/public/bar/contents/data_sheets/web/sales_data_sheets/sds-048.pdf This might be a good link for you, D100 to API in page2. This API40, 394 microns, between 40~50mesh, take it 45mesh, http://www.showmegold.org/news/Mesh.htm
