the classifying number changes from D50 to D100, the API RP 13C values will be different from API RP 13E values for the
same screen.
FAQS
1. What is D100 and how is it related to the API screen designation?
• The D100 value represents the diameter of the coarsest particle (in microns) which will pass through the screen during a dry laboratory test and
is a single number, not a range of sizes.
• The API screen designation for a screen is the API-defined range of sizes into which the D100 value falls. Some of the coarser size classes span
quite a large range of D100 values.
2. What does/doesn’t the D100 tell us?
• The D100 value is the finest particle diameter at which the screen no longer sends 100% of the particles to the discard stream. This is also the
coarsest particle that will pass through the screen.
• The D50 value is the particle size at which the screen sends 50% of the particles to the “overs” (discard), while the remaining 50% report to the
“unders” (undersized stream) and should not be compared to the D100. The D50 is interpreted as the micron size where a screen makes a
50/50 split.
• The API RP 13C D100 is a very specific value determined from a carefully-controlled laboratory procedure so that any laboratory could measure the
same value for any given screen cloth.
3. Will a screen with a D100 of 110 microns remove solids finer than 110 microns?
• Yes, more than half of the particles that are coarser than D50 and finer than D100 will report to the overs. A significant portion of the particles finer
than D50 will also report to the unders. (By definition, every particle classified in the D100 size or coarser will report to the overs as expected.)
4. Have any of the NOV screen mesh combinations changed?
• Yes, however only a few of the screen mesh combinations required a change in order to provide a screen in each API Screen designation.
5. Why is there such a great variance between the old and new screen labeling values?
• The biggest variation is due to the shift from the D50 value to the D100 value.
• The previous test procedure for screens, API RP 13E, measured the distribution of the screen holes as measured by light, not solids. Subsequently,
the screens were labeled using the D50, D16 and D84 separation curve.
• The current test procedure, API RP 13C, measures the coarsest particle which passes through the screen, which is a more accurate and repeatable
test method. The screens are now labeled using the D100 size criteria.
6. Should I use the old screen number or the new API screen designation when ordering replacement screens?
• NOV will accept orders according to the system that customers prefer. Orders may be placed using either the old nomenclature or the new
API screen designation.
7. If the 200-mesh screen is now labeled API 120, should a finer screen be used now?
• Customers are advised to continue using the screens that work best for their applications, regardless of the new API screen designation. The sand
content found in the mud report remains the best indicator of what type screen to use. The new testing procedure reports a different value and its
primary intent is to provide a standard measuring system for comparing screens among competing manufacturers.
• The mud report will dictate what type of screen is required. With a weighted mud, the mud should be screened fine enough to produce just a
trace of sand. If the mud report is showing a sand content of .25% or more, the advice is: screen finer. With an unweighted mud, the mud should
be screened as fine as possible (with consideration to practical screen life), while maintaining the prescribed mud weight.
8. Why does NOV choose to use both original screen nomenclature, as well as the new API RP 13C screen
designation?
• It is expected that customers will refer to both the original and the new nomenclature for an indefinite period. NOV will continue to use its original
nomenclature and provide information regarding correlating API RP 13C screen designations to allow customers to choose what works best for
them.
9. What is the practical value of the new API RP 13C screen labeling practice to the end user?
• The new API RP 13C labeling practice provides an excellent standard and benchmark for comparing one screen manufacturer’s screen separation
to another. The closer the D100 values, even within the same size class, the better the comparison will be.
• NOV will work with customers to ensure that screen comparison tests are performed in a fair manner for all parties, allowing the development of a
balanced test plan, including a double-blind particle size analysis protocol, whenever a screen comparison is to be conducted.

DG and VG Degassers
MAXIMIZING EFFICIENCY, OPERATION, SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
VG-1 Degasser
NOV supplies degassers that can service the needs pumped downhole; in doing so, these degassers aid
of any application. Each DG and VG series degasser in the prevention of potential blowouts. Degassers
effectively and efficiently removes gases from gas- are engineered and manufactured to provide years of
cut mud, ensuring that the proper mud weight is reliable service.
DG and VG Degassers
FEATURES BENEFITS
Corrosion-resistant interior parts Long part life with minimum maintenance
Float-regulated liquid level in the degasser chamber Ensures that the system will not overfill or run dry
High performance eductor pulls mud into the degasser Eliminates gas-locKING and allows the degassed mud to be discharged up to 20 ft (6 m) away, thus
simplifying installation
Vacuum pump located on each skid Protects vacuum unit from damage and provides for simple maintenance
Fail-safe secondary float and filter Keep mud from entering the vacuum pump
Dispersion plates create thin sheets of gas-cut mud Bring entrained gas closer to the mud surface for easy removal
Top-mounted lifting eyes Make handling safe and easy
DG-5 and DG-10/12 are vertically-mounted units Enables installation in confined spaces due to small footprint; additionally, these units process 500
gal/min (1892 lit/min) and 1000 gal/min (3785 lit/min) or 1200 gal/min (4542 lit/min) of mud,
respectively
VG-1 is a horizontally-mounted unit Fits in areas where head space is at a premium; able to process 1000 gal/min (3785 lit/min) of mud

that impacts the wall of the spray tank. Degassing occurs as
the gas particles are brought to the mud surface by the high
impact and turbulence of the thin spray sheet at the wall of
the spray tank. The degassed fluid collects at the base of the
spray tank and flows out of the discharge trough to the next
pit. The gasses escape through the top of the spray tank and
dissipate into the atmosphere.
