To prevent tensile failures, the weight indicator pull on a "like new" condition rod string should not exceed 90% of the yield strength of the smallest diameter sucker rod, based on its
known size and grade. Maximum pulling force values herein informed were calculated based on the 90% of the specified minimum yield strength at the smallest section of a given
rod.
Beam Pumping: Maximum allowable tensile stress
It is recommended that the modified Goodman stress diagram or the simplified formula listed bellow are used in the determination of
the allowable range of stress applied to a sucker rod.
Applied tensions can be compared to the maximum allowable using the Goodman formula:
Table 1: Goodman coefficients.
Grade A B
DA Alloy 4 0.5625
Where: DS Special 4 0.5625
Sa = Maximum allowable stress (psi or Mpa) KDS Special 4 0.5625
Smin = Minimum calculated or measured stress (psi or Mpa)
Smax = Maximum calculated or measured stress (psi or Mpa)
UTS = Minimum ultimate tensile strength (psi or Mpa)
SF = Service factor. For corrosive environments a value of 0.9 is recommended
Coefficients A and B are listed on Table 1.
Progressive Cavity Pumping: Effective Stress
The effective rod stress in PCP applications can be calculated using the von Mises equation:
Where:
= Effective stress (kpsi or Mpa)
L = Total axial load (lbf or N)
T = Total torque (lbf. ft or N. m)
D = Rod′s body diameter (in or mm)
C1 = Constant (For imperial system= 1.6x10−5 . For international system= 16)
C2 = Constant (For imperial system= 0.1106. For international system= 7.68x108)
Color Code: Non Destructive Testing:
Rod's ends are painted according to the following table: All raw material is carefully inspected using
Grade Color Code electromagnetic and/or ultrasonic methods to ensure the
DA Alloy Yellow soundness of the final product.
