ISO 10428-1993 PDF

Full title and description

Petroleum and natural gas industries — Sucker rods (pony rods, polished rods, couplings and sub-couplings) — Specification. ISO 10428:1993 specifies dimensional characteristics, chemical and mechanical properties, gauging practice, marking, packaging and inspection requirements for one-piece and three-piece sucker rods and associated couplings and sub-couplings; it adopts the content of API Specification 11B (24th edition, 1990) with modifications for international use.

Abstract

ISO 10428:1993 provides technical requirements and gauging practices for sucker-rod components used in rod-pumped wells, covering material grades, tensile and hardness limits, thread and coupling dimensions, polished-rod components and ancillary items (liners, stuffing boxes, pumping tees), together with inspection, marking and packaging provisions. The ISO text reproduces and endorses API Spec 11B (24th edition, 1990) as the normative basis while noting specific ISO adaptations.

Scope

Specifies requirements for sucker rods (one-piece and three-piece), pony rods, polished rods, couplings and sub-couplings, polished-rod liners and related accessories used in petroleum and natural gas production. The standard defines dimensional limits, material chemical composition and mechanical properties, gauging and thread forms, assembly and inspection practices, marking and packaging. It reproduces API Spec 11B (24th edition, Oct 1990) as the normative technical basis and records ISO modifications for international application.

Key topics and requirements

• Dimensional characteristics and tolerances for one-piece and three-piece sucker rods, coupling and sub-coupling forms and polished-rod components.
• Chemical composition and mechanical-property requirements (tensile strength, hardness ranges) for specified rod grades.
• Thread specifications (straight threads, unified form where applicable), gaging practice and acceptance criteria for connections.
• Requirements for polished-rod liners, stuffing boxes, pumping tees, marking, packaging and inspection procedures.
• Notes on normative vs informative material (e.g., some API appendices are not carried as normative ISO requirements).

Typical use and users

Used by oilfield equipment manufacturers, downhole and surface equipment designers, production engineers, QA/QC and inspection personnel, procurement teams and testing laboratories involved in rod-pumped well systems. The standard supports specification, procurement, acceptance testing and interchangeability of sucker-rod components.

Related standards

Directly related to API Specification 11B (24th edition, 1990) which ISO 10428:1993 adopts; associated ISO/TC 67 standards for drilling and production equipment (examples in the TC67 family and other ISO documents for downhole equipment and well components). Relevant neighboring standards include ISO 10427 series (equipment for well cementing and related items) and various ISO documents for downhole and production hardware.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10428:1993 is an international specification for sucker rods (pony rods, polished rods) and their couplings/sub-couplings used in oil and gas rod-pumping systems; it adopts API Spec 11B (24th ed., 1990) with ISO-specific modifications.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers dimensional characteristics, chemical and mechanical property limits, thread and coupling dimensions, gauging practice, marking, packaging and inspection requirements for rod-pumping components.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of sucker rods and couplings, oil and gas operators and production engineers, procurement and QA/QC personnel, and laboratories performing acceptance testing and gaging.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10428:1993 remains the published ISO document from 1993 and appears in standards registries (with committee actions and confirmations recorded in later years); there have been work items and attempted revisions in committee records, but the 1993 text is retained as the ISO publication. Users should check their national standards body or ISO catalogue for the latest confirmation or revision status before relying on the standard for procurement or compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It sits within the ISO/TC 67 family of standards for petroleum and natural gas industries (equipment for drilling and production); related ISO documents and regional adoptions (and API specifications) address adjacent downhole and production equipment.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Sucker rods, pony rods, polished rods, couplings, sub-couplings, API 11B, gauging, rod pumps, downhole equipment.
