Drilling mud screen system and methods thereof

A drilling mud screen comprising:

• (a) a body having a first end and a second end and a centerline, wherein the first end and/or the second end of the body has a means to engage a drilling mud screen puller/installer tool;
• (b) a drilling mud inlet at the first end of the body;
• (c) a filter having a first end, a second end, and openings, wherein the filter is fluidly connected to the second end of the body via a first connection and/or an optional first end retaining ring;
• (d) a drilling mud outlet at the openings of the filter;
• and
• (e) a second end cap fluidly connected at the second end of the filter via a second connection, wherein the filter has an optional retaining ring disposed between the first connection and the second connection.

A transducer subassembly comprising:

• (a) a body having a first end, a second end and a first centerline from the first end to the second end;
• (b) a transducer access port having a second centerline forming a transducer angle with the first centerline and extending to the first centerline, wherein the transducer access port is offset from the first end and wherein the transducer angle is from about 20-degrees to about 120-degrees;
• (c) a drilling mud inlet at the first end of the transducer body;
• (d) a drilling mud outlet at the second end of the transducer body;
• and
• (e) a transducer, disposed within the transducer access port to close and seal the transducer access port.
