Frequently Asked Questions
XR and XL series differ in mesh construction and conductance. XL screens are typically designed for higher flow rates, while XR offers specialized separation characteristics depending on fluid volume and cut point.
Yes, they are engineered as direct replacements. Following API RP13C standards ensures they fit seamlessly into the Multi-Sizer frame without requiring modifications.
The API designation (e.g., API 100, API 200) refers to the mesh size. A higher number indicates a finer mesh for removing smaller particles. Choose based on required mud weight and solids size.
We use high-grade Stainless Steel 304, 316, or 316L. SS316L is particularly effective in environments with high chloride content or aggressive chemical additives in drilling mud.
Depending on the abrasiveness of the formations and fluid properties, the expected working life ranges between 240 and 360 hours of active operation.
Yes, all FT-VSM Multi screens come with a standard 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, ensuring your investment is protected.
