Full title and description
ISO 10437:2003 — Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries — Steam turbines — Special-purpose applications. This International Standard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and preparation for shipment of steam turbines intended for special-purpose applications in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. It also addresses related lube‑oil systems, instrumentation, control systems and auxiliary equipment. Available formats typically include PDF (electronic) and print editions from ISO and national standards bodies.
Abstract
ISO 10437:2003 defines minimum requirements and recommendations for special-purpose steam turbines used in hydrocarbon processing and related industries. The standard covers technical and procurement aspects from design and materials through fabrication, inspection and testing to preparation for shipment, including interfaces with lubrication, control and auxiliary systems. It excludes general-purpose steam turbines, which are covered by other standards.
General information
- Status: Published (International Standard — confirmed).
- Publication date: 7 July 2003 (confirmed 25 September 2023).
- Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- ICS / categories: 27.040 (Gas and steam turbines, steam engines); 75.180.20 (Processing equipment).

Scope
Applies to steam turbines designed for special-purpose applications in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. The standard specifies both mandatory requirements and recommended practices for design, choice of materials, fabrication processes, inspection and testing procedures, and preparation for shipment. It also covers associated systems such as lube‑oil systems, instrumentation, control systems and auxiliary equipment. It is not applicable to general-purpose steam turbines, which are handled by a separate standard.
Key topics and requirements
- Design and materials requirements specific to special-purpose turbine duty and process conditions.
- Fabrication, welding and assembly practices for turbine components and casings.
- Inspection and nondestructive examination (NDE) requirements during manufacture.
- Factory testing, balancing, and acceptance test procedures.
- Requirements for preparation for shipment and preservation of equipment.
- Interfaces and requirements for lube‑oil systems, control and instrumentation, and auxiliary equipment.
- Specification and documentation requirements for procurement and vendor data.
- Normative and informative references (examples include API/industry recommended practices such as API RP 520 Parts I & II and API RP 686 where applicable).
- Clarification that general-purpose turbine requirements are outside this standard’s scope (see related standards).
Typical use and users
Used by turbine manufacturers (OEMs), engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors, plant owners/operators, equipment specifiers, maintenance and inspection teams, and quality assurance personnel involved in procurement, manufacture, commissioning and lifecycle support of special-purpose steam turbine packages in refinery, petrochemical and gas-processing facilities.
