Full title and description
ISO 10431:1993 — Petroleum and natural gas industries — Pumping units — Specification. This International Standard specifies requirements for the design and rating of pumping units used in petroleum and natural gas industries, including dimensional characteristics, chemical and mechanical properties, gauging practice and related marking and documentation.
Abstract
This standard lays down specifications covering design and rating of surface pumping units for oil and gas applications. It adopts the requirements of API Specification 11E (as of the cited edition) with modifications for international application, and specifies dimensional, material and gauging requirements and associated testing/marking practices.

Scope
ISO 10431:1993 specifies the design and rating criteria for pumping units used in petroleum and natural gas industries. The scope covers dimensional characteristics, chemical and mechanical properties of components, gauging practices, and the information required for selection, marking and procurement. The standard adopts API Specification 11E (as referenced in the document) and indicates the modifications made to that API text for international standardization.
Key topics and requirements
- Design and rating principles for pumping units used in oil and gas production.
- Dimensional characteristics and tolerances for components and assemblies.
- Chemical and mechanical property requirements for materials (metallurgy, hardness, tensile properties where specified).
- Gauging and measurement practice for pumping-unit components and assemblies.
- Adoption and modification of API Specification 11E requirements for international application.
- Marking, documentation and information requirements for procurement and traceability.
These topics reflect the core technical content of the published standard.
Typical use and users
Primary users include pumping-unit manufacturers, oilfield equipment suppliers, drilling and production engineers, procurement specialists and certification/inspection bodies in the petroleum and natural gas industry. The standard is used to specify and verify design, materials and gauging for surface pumping equipment procured or referenced in technical contracts and equipment specifications.
Related standards
ISO 10431 references and aligns with API Specification 11E (as the normative baseline adopted in the ISO text). Related ISO documents in the petroleum and natural gas equipment series (ISO/TC 67 outputs) and subsequent ISO revisions or national adoptions (regional/sector publications) cover complementary equipment — for example, standards for downhole equipment, valves and other production hardware. Users commonly cross-reference API Spec 11E and other ISO/TC 67 standards when applying ISO 10431 requirements.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 10431:1993 is an International Standard that specifies requirements for pumping units used in the petroleum and natural gas industries, covering design, rating, dimensional and material requirements.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers design and rating criteria for surface pumping units, dimensional characteristics, chemical and mechanical properties, gauging practice, and the information (marking/documentation) needed for procurement and verification. The standard adopts API Specification 11E with modifications for international use.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Manufacturers of pumping units, oil and gas operators, procurement and contracts engineers, inspection bodies and standards committees use this standard when specifying, buying or certifying pumping units for production operations.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The ISO catalogue and several national suppliers list ISO 10431:1993 as Withdrawn (the lifecycle entry shows withdrawal actions; vendor records note withdrawal from sale in 2024). Users should not assume it remains the current reference — check current ISO/TC 67 publications or national standards organizations for an active replacement or adopted equivalent before using it for new procurements.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: It sits within the ISO/TC 67 work for petroleum and natural gas industries and is related to other equipment standards in that series; it specifically adopts API Spec 11E content and should be considered alongside other ISO standards for drilling, production and surface/subsurface equipment.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Pumping units, oilfield equipment, API 11E, design specification, gauging, dimensional tolerances, material properties, petroleum industry standards.
