Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 10440-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 118, Compressors, pneumatic
tools and pneumatic machines, and Technical Commitee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures
for petroleum and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 6, Processing equipment and systems.
ISO 10440 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and natural gas industries — Rotary-
type positive-displacement compressors:
� Part 1: Process compressors (oil-free)
� Part 2: Packaged air compressors (oil-free)

Introduction
This part of ISO 10440 is based on the 2nd edition of API 619. This part of ISO 10440 is not intended to obviate the
need for sound engineering judgement as to when and where this standard should be utilized, and users should be
aware that further or differing requirements may be needed for individual applications.
This part of ISO 10440 is not intended to inhibit a vendor from offering, or the purchaser from accepting, alternative
equipment or engineering solutions for the individual application. This may be particularly applicable where there is
innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is offered, the vendor should identify any variations from
this part of ISO 10440 and provide details.
Standards referenced herein may be replaced by other international or national standards that can be shown to
meet or exceed the requirements of the referenced standards.
