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 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10441 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures
for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 6, Processing equipment and
systems.

Introduction
This International Standard was developed from the API Std 671, 3rd edition, 1998. It is intended that the 4th
edition of API Std 671 will be identical to this International Standard.
Users of this International Standard should be aware that further or differing requirements may be needed for
individual applications. This International Standard 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 appropriate where there is innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is
offered, the vendor should identify any variations from this International Standard and provide details.
This International Standard requires the purchaser to specify certain details and features.
A bullet (●) at the beginning of a subclause or paragraph indicates that either a decision is required or further
information is to be provided by the purchaser. This information should be indicated on the datasheet(s),
typical examples of which are included as Annex J; otherwise it should be stated in the quotation request or in
the order.

Flexible couplings for mechanical power transmission —
Special-purpose applications
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the requirements for couplings for the transmission of power between the
rotating shafts of two machines in special-purpose applications in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural
gas industries. Such applications are typically in large and/or high speed machines, in services that can be
required to operate continuously for extended periods, are often unspared and are critical to the continued
operation of the installation. By agreement, it can be used for other applications or services.
Couplings covered by this International Standard are designed to accommodate parallel (or lateral) offset,
angular misalignment and axial displacement of the shafts without imposing unacceptable mechanical loading
on the coupled machines. It is applicable to gear, metallic flexible element, quill shaft and torsionally resilient
type couplings. Torsional damping and resilient type couplings are detailed in Annex A; gear-type couplings
are detailed in Annex B and quill shaft style couplings are detailed in Annex C.
This International Standard covers the design, materials of construction, manufacturing quality, inspection and
testing of special-purpose couplings.
This International Standard does not define criteria for the selection of coupling types for specific applications.
This International Standard is not applicable to other types of couplings, such as clutch, hydraulic, eddy-
current, rigid, radial spline, chain and bellows types.

See Annex F.
3.18
manufacturer
agency responsible for the design and fabrication of the coupling
NOTE The manufacturer is not necessarily the vendor.
3.19

maximum continuous temperature for which the manufacturer has designed the coupling
3.20
maximum continuous angular misalignment
maximum angular misalignment at each plane of flexure that the coupling is able to tolerate for unlimited
periods
NOTE Maximum continuous angular misalignment can be expressed as either

simultaneously subjected to the coupling maximum continuous axial displacement, or
b) a range of values expressed as an inter-related function of speed, torque, and axial displacement.
3.21
maximum continuous axial displacement
maximum axial displacement the coupling is able to tolerate for unlimited periods
NOTE Maximum continuous axial displacement can be expressed as either
a) a single value when transmitting the coupling continuous torque rating at the coupling rated speed and

3.30
pilot
rabbet
register
surface that positions a coupling component, sub-assembly, or assembly radially with respect to another
coupling component
3.31
potential unbalance
probable net unbalance of a complete coupling
NOTE 1 Potential unbalance results from a combination of the residual unbalance of individual components and sub-
assemblies and possible eccentricity of the components and sub-assemblies due to run-out and tolerances of the various
surfaces and registers. Since it can be assumed that the actual values of the various contributory unbalances are random
in both magnitude and direction, the numerical value of the potential unbalance is the square root of the sum of the
squares of all the contributory unbalances. Typical contributory unbalances are
a) the residual unbalance of each component or sub-assembly,
b) errors in the balance of each component or sub-assembly resulting from eccentricity in the fixture used to mount the
component or sub-assembly in the balance machine,
c) the unbalance of each component or sub-assembly due to eccentricity resulting from clearance or run-out of the
relevant registers or fits.
NOTE 2 The concept of potential unbalance is explained more fully and a worked example is provided in Annex E.
3.32
purchaser
agency that issues the order and the specification to the vendor
NOTE The purchaser can be the owner of the plant in which the equipment is to be installed, the owner’s appointed
agent or, frequently, the manufacturer of the driven machine.
3.33
quill-shaft coupling
coupling that is both laterally and torsionally flexible, with angular misalignment, parallel offset and torsional
fluctuations being accommodated by elastic deformation of a relatively long, slender shaft
NOTE Quill-shaft couplings, unless combined with another type, cannot accommodate axial displacement.
