ISO 10431:1993

Petroleum and natural gas industries — Pumping units — Specification

Lays down the specification covering the design and rating. Specifies the requirements for the dimensional characteristics, chemical and mechanical properties and gauging practice. Requirements are specified in the sixteenth edition of API Specification 11E (Spec 11E), October 1989, which is adopted as ISO 10431. For the purposes of international standardization, modifications have been made that are outlined.

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. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be re-
presented 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.
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.
International Standard ISO 10431 was prepared by the American Petro-
leum Institute (API) (as Spec 11 E, 16th edition) and was adopted, under
a special “fast-track procedure ”, by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Ma-
terials, equipment and offshore structures for Petroleum and natura1 gas
industries, in parallel with its approval by the ISO member bodies.

Introduction
International Standard ISO 10431:1993 reproduces the content of
API Spec 11 E, 16th edition, 1989 and its Supplement 1 (July 1, 1991).
ISO, in endorsing this API document, recognizes that in certain respects
the latter does not comply with all current ISO rules on the presentation
and content of an International Standard. Therefore, the relevant technical
body, within lSO/TC 67, will review ISO 10431:1993 and reissue it, when
practicable, in a form complying with these rules.
This Standard is not intended to obviate the need for Sound engineering
judgement as to when and where this Standard should be utilized and
users of this Standard should be aware that additional or differing require-
ments may be needed to meet the needs for the particular Service in-
tended.
Standards referenced herein may be replaced by other international or
national Standards that tan be shown to meet or exceed the requirements
of the referenced Standards.
Appendix G to this document shall not be considered as requirements.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD 0 ISO
Petroleum and natura1 gas industries - Pumping
units - Specification
1 Scope
This International Standard lays down specification covering the design and rating of pumping units.
2 Requirements
Requirements are specified in:
“API Specification 11 E (Spec 11 E), Sixteenth Edition, October 1, 1989 - Specification for Pumping Units ”,
which is adopted as ISO 10431.
For the purposes of internationl standardization, however, modifications shall apply to specific clauses and para-
graphs of publication API Spec 11 E. These modifications are outlined below.
Throughout publication API Spec 11 E, the conversion of English units shall be made in accordance with ISO 31,
Parts 1 and 3. In particular,
LENGTH 1 inch (in) = 25,4 mm (exactly)
= 304,8 mm (exactly)
1 foot (ft)
MASS 1 pound (Ib) = 0,453 59237 kg (exactly)
PRESSURE 1 pound-forte per Square inch (Ibf/in*) = 6894,76 Pa
or 1 psi
VOLUME 1 cubic inch (in3) = 16,387 064.1 O-3 dm3 (exactly)
AREA 1 Square inch (in*) = 645,16 mm* (exactly)
VELOCITY 1 foot per second (ft/s) = 0,3048 m/s (exactly)
TORQUE 1 inch pound-forte (inlbf) - = 0,112985 N*m
