How to Measure Screen Panels for Replacement
A replacement request can begin with an installed screen, clear photos, measurable dimensions, a drawing or an old sample. The product name does not need to be known before the initial review.
Starting reference
Start with the installed screen
You do not need to confirm a part name before contacting us. Start with the current screening surface, deck arrangement, fixing points and operating conditions. A drawing or old sample is helpful but is not required for the initial quotation review.
Screen color alone does not identify the material, aperture, fixing arrangement or replacement compatibility.
This screen media replacement guide helps procurement teams assemble the available reference before a replacement quotation discussion.
If the family is still unclear, compare polyurethane screen media families before sending the available reference. This guide focuses on identifying a replacement, while the product pages explain each family in more detail.
Screen format
Identify the closest screen format
Use the visible construction and deck arrangement as a starting point. Final classification and compatibility are confirmed from the complete reference.
Modular screen panels
Separate replaceable modules. Record the module size, back interface and the deck rails or supports.
Review modular screen panel interface optionsTensioned screens
A whole or large screen mat retained by tensioned edges. Photograph the side or end tension direction and hook profile.

Photo checklist
Photograph the visible construction
Use even lighting and include a scale or ruler where practical.
- Full front screening surface
- Back or support side
- Side profile and thickness
- Aperture close-up
- Fixing point or hook edge
- Installed deck arrangement
- Wear, damage or fit concern
- Machine nameplate, only when it can be shared
Company names, asset IDs, customer references and other sensitive information may be masked before photos are sent.
Prepare a replacement review request
- Panel dimensions and thickness
- Aperture shape and size
- Fixing or tension details
- Front, back and edge photographs
- Installed deck or machine context
- Drawings or old samples, when available
- Wet or dry duty and processed material
- Quantity and destination
Measurements
Record measurable dimensions
Use millimetres or inches and state the unit for every value. Do not infer final dimensions from photo scale alone.
Overall length, width and thickness
Aperture width and length
Aperture direction relative to material flow
Fixing-hole or fixing-point spacing
Rail or support spacing
Hook profile and tension direction
Cross-member or support-bar spacing
Aperture reference
Describe the opening shape and direction
Aperture choice depends on the duty and current result; there is no universal opening suitable for every screen.
Square
Record the clear opening and layout direction.
Round
Record the clear opening diameter.
Rectangular
Record width and length separately.
Slotted
Record slot width x length and slot orientation.
Also record slot orientation relative to material flow and any blinding, pegging or unexpected fines loss. If the installed screening surface is flexible, document that construction before you review Flip-Flow panel requirements.
Fixing arrangement
Document how the screen is retained
These are generic identification references, not compatibility claims. Final fit is confirmed against the old sample, drawing, clear photos and deck arrangement.

Operating details
Explain the duty and current problem
Operating context helps separate fit questions from process or wear concerns.
- 1Material being screened
- 2Wet or dry operation
- 3Screening or dewatering objective
- 4Current wear, blinding, pegging or fit problem
- 5Machine brand and model, if known
- 6Required quantity and destination
- 7Required supply window
Review aggregate screening application context or Sand Washing & Dewatering application context before confirming the available duty information.
Review process
Replacement review in eight steps
This describes the quotation review sequence, not a manufacturing process.
- 01Identify the installed wet or dry duty, deck or machine context and material being screened.
- 02Capture the front, back, side or edge, plus installed deck context when it is safe and shareable.
- 03Measure overall length, width and thickness from consistent reference edges, with every value labelled by unit.
- 04Describe aperture shape, width, length and direction with a drawing or photograph with scale where available.
- 05Identify visible retention details such as pins, bolts, rails, wedges, pressure bars or hook edges.
- 06Add the target separation, current wear, blinding, pegging or fit concern, quantity and destination.
- 07Provide drawings, old samples or clearer edge and fixing photographs when they are available for review.
- 08Request a replacement review. Clarification may be needed before a quotation basis can be prepared.
After submission
What Happens After You Submit Replacement Information
The available reference is reviewed in sequence so the replacement discussion can distinguish visible evidence from details that may still need clarification.
- 01
Customer submits
Photos, dimensions, drawings and application details that are currently available for the replacement review.
- 02
Review existing installation information
Review the visible panel, deck, fixing and duty information supplied with the request.
- 03
Confirm replacement requirements
Clarify the available measurement, aperture, fixing and operating details needed for the quotation basis.
- 04
Identify suitable screen media format
Use the reviewed evidence to discuss the relevant screen media family and any information still required.
- 05
Prepare quotation discussion
Prepare the next quotation discussion from the confirmed review scope without treating the initial reference as a final commitment.
See Supply & Quality Control for the replacement verification and supply review process that follows the confirmed review scope.
Review boundary
Separate visible evidence from final confirmation
Photos and measurements can support an initial review, but they do not establish a guaranteed match or final commercial commitment.
Usually reviewable remotely
- Visible screen-family clues
- Clearly measured overall dimensions
- Aperture shape and apparent direction
- Visible fixing or hook-edge details
- Broad wet or dry duty and application context
- Quantity and destination for quotation handling
May require drawings, samples or engineering confirmation
- Hidden reinforcement or underside construction
- An obscured fixing interface
- Exact fit or interchangeability
- Tolerances or uncertain aperture measurements
- Final manufacturing or commercial commitment
Replacement questions
Replacement Guide FAQ
These answers explain how to prepare the available replacement reference without treating an initial review as a compatibility commitment.
What information is needed to review a replacement screen panel?
Start with clear photos, overall dimensions, aperture details, fixing information and the available application context. Drawings or an old sample can also help when they are available.
Can photos help identify an existing screen panel?
Photos can support an initial review when they show the front, back, side profile, aperture and fixing details. They do not establish final fit by themselves.
What if drawings are unavailable?
A replacement request can begin with the installed screen, measurable dimensions and clear photos. Further clarification, a drawing or an old sample may be needed before the quotation basis is confirmed.
Why are fixing details important for replacement screening media?
Pins, bolts, rails, wedges, pressure bars and hook edges affect how the screen is retained on the installed deck. Recording visible fixing details helps keep the review focused on the current arrangement.
