API SPEC 11B-2010 pdf free download.Specification for Sucker Rods, Polished Rods and Liners, Couplings, Sinker Bars, Polished Rod Clamps, Stuffing Boxes, and Pumping Tees.
1 Scope This specification provides the requirements and guidelines for the design of steel sucker rods and pony rods, polished rods, polished rod liners, couplings and sub-couplings, fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) sucker rods, sinker bars, polished rod clamps, stuffing boxes, and pumping tees as defined herein for use in the sucker rod lift method for the petroleum and natural gas industry. Annex A through Annex H provide the requirements for specific products. Annex I includes the requirements for thread gauges, Annex J illustrates the components of a sucker rod lift system, and Annex K shows examples of sucker rod discontinuities. This specification does not cover sucker rod guides, sucker rod rotators, shear tools, on-off tools, stabilizer bars, sealing elements used in stuffing boxes, or interface connections for stuffing boxes and pumping tees. Also, installation, operation and maintenance of these products are not included in this specification. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

For quality system related terms used in this Specification and not defined below, see API Q1. 3.1 batch lots processing Material processed in a machine in defined quantities or volumes. 3.2 body The length of the rod located between the upset transitions, see Figure A.1. 3.3 continuous processing Material flowing steadily through the processing equipment in an undefined quantity or volume. 3.4 couplings Internally threaded components used to connect sucker rods, sinker bars, pony rods, or polished rods from the surface to the subsurface pump where both threads are of the same size and type. 3.5 dent Local change in surface contour caused by mechanical impact, but not accompanied by a loss of metal.
3.6 discontinuity Interruption in the normal physical structure or configuration such as cracks, laps, seams, pits, and laminations. 3.7 end shear crack Mill shear discontinuity, which shows as a crack across the pin end face. 3.8 fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) sucker rod Sucker rod typically manufactured in three pieces and assembled by a process that provides connection of two metal end fittings connected to a non-metallic fiber reinforced plastic rod. 3.9 forging lap Discontinuity produced when two metal surfaces fold against each other without metallurgical bonding. 3.10 forging overfill Excessive metal stocking of the forging die resulting in a forging lap.
