API Std 11D2/ISO 15136 Progressing Cavity Pump Systems for Artificial Lift-Pumps

API Publishing Services, 2010. — 122 p.This part of ISO 15136 has been developed by users/purchasers and suppliers/manufacturers of progressing cavity pumps and is intended for use in the petroleum and natural gas industry worldwide. This part of ISO 15136 provides requirements and information to both parties in the selection, manufacturing, testing, and using progressing cavity pumps as defined in the scope. Further, this part of ISO 15136 addresses supplier requirements, which set the minimum parameters with which it is necessary that suppliers comply to claim conformity with this part of ISO 15136.
This part of ISO 15136 provides grades of requirements for design validation, quality control and functional evaluations allowing the user/purchaser to select each for a specific application. There are three grades of design validation and quality control, and two grades of functional testing. Design validation grade V3 is restricted to legacy products, the basic grade is V2 and the highest grade is V1. Quality control grade 3 is the standard grade and grades 2 and 1 provide additional requirements. Functional evaluation grade F1 requires a hydraulic test of the PCP and grade F2 does not. The user/purchaser has the option of specifying requirements supplemental to these grades.
It is necessary that the users of this part of ISO 15136 be aware that requirements above those outlined in this part of ISO 15136 can be needed for individual applications. This part of ISO 15136 is not intended to inhibit a supplier/manufacturer from offering, or the user/purchaser from accepting, alternative equipment or engineering solutions. This can be particularly applicable where there is innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is offered, it is the responsibility of the supplier/manufacturer to clearly and completely identify any variations from the requirements of this part of ISO 15136.API Foreword
