High-Efficiency Fine Mesh Shaker Screen Replacement for NOV BRANDT & Axiom Process P/N AX140TF-116 (API 140)
100% Interchangeable with NOV BRANDT AX-1 and Axiom Process AX-1 Shale Shakers | 683 x 600 mm Dual-Standard Dimensions
Disclaimer: All original equipment manufacturer names, trademarks, equipment models, and part numbers (including NOV Brandt, Axiom Process, Axiom AX-1, and P/N AX140TF-116) are referenced solely for technical identification, dimensional cross-reference, and equipment compatibility. Our replacement shaker screens are independently manufactured, certified to API RP 13C standards, and are neither manufactured nor endorsed by the OEM.
Engineering Deconstruction & Fine Solids Control
Controlling low-gravity solids (LGS) in deep production zones and horizontal drilling is essential for maintaining mud rheology and penetration rates. Operating an NOV BRANDT AX-1 or Axiom Process AX-1 shale shaker with API 140 screens (OEM Part Number: AX140TF-116 / P/N AX140TF-116) removes drill solids down to 116 μm, protecting expensive completion fluids and reducing disposal volumes.
Fine-mesh screens face continuous risks of blinding, near-size particle plugging, and mesh blistering under high dynamic mud sheets.
Our API RP 13C Compliant Fine Mesh Composite Screen (Part Number: AX140TF-116) features an anti-blinding rectangular weave bonded to an ultra-rigid composite backing, ensuring consistent 116 μm particle retention and reliable service life at a 35–45% procurement cost reduction.

| Standard API Designation | API 140 (API RP 13C / ISO 13501 Compliant) | Rigorously Calibrated |
| D100 Separation Cut Point | 116 μm (Calibrated glass bead testing) | Strips micro-silts and fine sand |
| Mesh Cloth Metallurgy | Premium AISI 316L Stainless Steel | Resists chemical corrosion |
| Weave Pattern | Rectangular Mesh (Anti-Blinding Geometry) | Maximizes flow through fine apertures |
| Supporting Frame | Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite | Structural integrity at 7.5G+ acceleration |
Engineering Advantages & Quality Control
- Anti-Blinding Rectangular Weave: Engineered with an optimized aspect ratio that allows near-size particles to pass freely rather than wedge in the mesh openings, maintaining maximum open area.
- Bonded Cellular Frame Design: The composite frame features an array of reinforced grid cells that support the tensioned wire mesh, preventing fluid pooling and wire fatigue.
- Integral Perimeter Sealing: Features an over-molded elastomeric perimeter seal that forms a positive barrier against the shaker basket, preventing fluid bypass.
Maintenance, Fleet Configuration & Deck Installation Guidelines
- Triple-Deck Fleet Configuration Guide: For fine-cut mud processing on NOV Brandt & Axiom AX-1 shakers, deploy a 24-screen tiered setup: Top Scalping Deck: 8 pcs AX100TF-143; Middle Buffer Deck: 8 pcs AX140TF-116 (fine sand and silt extraction); Bottom Fine Deck: 8 pcs AX200TF-80. Total compliment is 24 panels, yielding a total screening area of 64.92 sq ft (6.03 m²).
- Rapid Changeout & Labor Ergonomics: Weighing only 4.5 kg (9.9 lbs), our composite screens allow a single operator to complete a full 24-screen deck changeout in under 15 minutes, drastically cutting Non-Productive Time (NPT).
- Basket Cleaning & Clamping: Remove all dried mud cake and cuttings from the basket support surfaces prior to installation. Secure wedges or pneumatic clamping rails evenly on both sides to avoid twisting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the exact dimensions and weight of this AX-1 replacement screen?
A: The standardized dimensions are 683 mm × 600 mm (approx. 27" × 24"), with a net weight of 4.5 kg (9.9 lbs) and an effective non-blanked area of 2.84 sq ft (0.264 m²). It is 100% direct drop-in compatible with both NOV Brandt AX-1 and Axiom Process AX-1 triple-deck shale shakers.
Q: How does P/N AX140TF-116 prevent mesh blinding when drilling chalk or sticky silt formations?
A: The screen features an engineered rectangular weave ratio that promotes particle ejection under linear motion vibration, preventing near-size particles from wedging into the mesh.
Q: Can this API 140 composite screen be used in synthetic oil-based muds (SBM)?
A: Yes. The composite matrix and SS316L wire cloth are completely inert to oil-based fluids, aromatic hydrocarbons, and synthetic mud additives.
