Ultra-Fine Solids Control Screen Replacement for NOV BRANDT & Axiom Process P/N AX170TF-94 (API 170)
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 AX170TF-94) 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 & Ultra-Fine Separation
In slim-hole drilling, reservoir penetration, and managed pressure drilling (MPD), circulating fluids must remain free of low-gravity solids to prevent reservoir formation damage and protect downhole MWD/LWD tools. Operating NOV BRANDT AX-1 or Axiom Process AX-1 shakers fitted with API 170 screens (OEM Part Number: AX170TF-94 / P/N AX170TF-94) strips solids down to a precise 94 μm cutoff.
At this fine separation level, low-quality replacement screens often blind rapidly (a common issue addressed during shaker mud blinding troubleshooting), forcing mud off the end of the shaker and causing costly fluid loss.
Our API RP 13C Compliant Ultra-Fine Composite Screen (Part Number: AX170TF-94) combines triple-layer SS316L mesh with a rigid composite grid support, delivering fluid handling capacity and consistent 94 μm separation backed by verified Axiom AX-1 screen API RP 13C compliance certificates at a 35–45% direct procurement cost reduction.

Engineering Advantages & Quality Control
- Triple-Layer Wire Cloth Construction: Built with an ultra-fine 94 μm outer mesh cloth, backed by an intermediate support mesh and a heavy-gauge stabilizing foundation. This prevents wire shearing under dynamic fluid head pressure and addresses concerns regarding Axiom AX-1 screen premature tearing oil based mud environments.
- Cellular Grid Bonding: Fused directly to the composite framework across individual sealed cells. If localized damage occurs, tearing cannot spread, providing an effective engineering solution for high G-force linear motion mud screen tearing repair.
- Precise Deck Fit: CNC-molded outer dimensions ensure that the screen drops into the Axiom AX-1 basket without binding, seating against the sealing strips (ideal when performing an Axiom AX-1 shaker basket rubber seal replacement).
Maintenance, Fleet Configuration & Deck Installation Guidelines
- Triple-Deck Fleet Configuration Guide: For high-precision ultra-fine separation on NOV Brandt & Axiom AX-1 shakers, deploy a 24-screen tiered setup: Top Scalping Deck: 8 pcs AX120TF-120; Middle Buffer Deck: 8 pcs AX140TF-116; Bottom Ultra-Fine Deck: 8 pcs AX170TF-94 (precision low-gravity solids removal). Total compliment is 24 panels, maximizing overall mud processing capacity.
- 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, mastering how to replace Axiom AX-1 wedge lock screen mechanisms efficiently during active drilling.
- Deck Preparation & Washing: Clean the basket support channels thoroughly. Never let heavy, weighted mud dry on fine 94 μm screens during tripping operations; wash down screens with base fluid immediately.
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: Can P/N AX170TF-94 handle high-density weighted drilling muds?
A: Yes. The triple-layer SS316L wire cloth and reinforced composite framework support heavy mud weights while maintaining open area for effective separation.
Q: What material test certificates are supplied with orders?
A: Every shipment includes an EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Certificate, API RP 13C glass bead calibration reports, and quality sign-off records.
