Full title and description
ISO 10439-2:2015 — Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries — Axial and centrifugal compressors and expander-compressors — Part 2: Non-integrally geared centrifugal and axial compressors. This part specifies minimum requirements and gives recommendations for non-integrally geared centrifugal and axial compressors used for process gas or air in petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, supplementing the general requirements in ISO 10439-1.
Abstract
ISO 10439-2:2015 provides technical requirements and recommendations covering design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and preparation for shipment specifically for non-integrally geared centrifugal and axial compressors for special-purpose process applications. It is intended to be used together with ISO 10439-1 (general requirements).
General information
- Status: Published; confirmed current following ISO review.
- Publication date: February 2015 (Edition 1, 2015).
- Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- ICS / categories: 71.120.99, 75.180.20.
- Edition / version: Edition 1 (2015).
- Number of pages: 74 pages (ISO listing; some national/adopted versions report slightly different page totals — listings vary roughly 74–86 pages).
Scope
This part of ISO 10439 sets out minimum technical requirements and recommendations for non-integrally geared centrifugal and axial compressors and expander-compressors used in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. It applies where the machine is not a packaged integrally geared unit (those are covered elsewhere) and is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 10439-1 for general requirements. The standard covers machines that handle process gas or air for special-purpose applications and addresses mechanical, materials, testing and documentation aspects.
Key topics and requirements
- Design requirements for pressure-retaining parts, casings and compressor stage arrangement.
- Materials selection, welding and fabrication practices for process-service compressors.
- Inspection, non-destructive testing, and acceptance testing (performance and mechanical tests).
- Bearing, lubrication and shaft-sealing requirements; vibration and monitoring provisions.
- Requirements for external gearing where applicable (machines without integral gearboxes may have external gears).
- Vendor data, documentation and marking requirements for procurement, commissioning and maintenance.
- Coordination with ISO 10439-1 (general requirements) for items not repeated in Part 2.
Typical use and users
Used by OEMs (compressor manufacturers), process and rotating‑equipment engineers, procurement and specification writers, inspection and testing agencies, and plant operators/owners in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas sectors to specify, procure, inspect and accept non-integrally geared axial and centrifugal compressors for process service.
Related standards
ISO 10439 is a multi-part series — Part 1 covers general requirements (ISO 10439-1:2015), Part 3 covers integrally geared centrifugal compressors (ISO 10439-3:2015), and Part 4 covers expander-compressors (ISO 10439-4:2015). For packaged integrally geared centrifugal air compressors a related publication is ISO 10442:2002. These documents are intended to be used together as applicable.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 10439-2:2015 is the part of the ISO 10439 series that sets minimum requirements and recommendations specifically for non-integrally geared centrifugal and axial compressors used in petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industry process applications.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing, and preparation for shipment for non-integrally geared axial and centrifugal compressors, and it is to be used in conjunction with ISO 10439-1 (general requirements).
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Compressor manufacturers (OEMs), rotating‑equipment engineers, procurement/specification teams, inspection/test laboratories, and plant operators in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas sectors.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO 10439-2 was published in February 2015 (Edition 1) and was last reviewed and confirmed by ISO in 2020; according to ISO it remains the current edition. Users should confirm at the time of purchase or use whether a later amendment or revision has been issued. (Current date of this summary: 15 February 2026.)
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — ISO 10439 is a multipart standard. Relevant parts include ISO 10439-1 (General requirements), ISO 10439-3 (Integrally geared centrifugal compressors) and ISO 10439-4 (Expander-compressors). ISO 10442 (packaged integrally geared centrifugal air compressors) is a related document addressing packaged units.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Axial compressor; centrifugal compressor; non-integrally geared; expander-compressor; petroleum; petrochemical; natural gas; inspection; testing; vendor data.
