 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.

Progressive Cavity Pumping: Effective Stress

The effective rod stress in PCP applications can be calculated using the von Mises equation:

(𝐶1 ∗ 𝐿2 ) 𝐶2 ∗ 𝑇 2
𝜎𝑒 = √ 2 + 2
𝜋 ∗ 𝐷4 𝜋 ∗ 𝐷6

Where:

𝜎𝑒 = Effective stress kpsi or MPa

L = Total axial load lb or N
T = Total torque lb. ft or N. m
D = Rod′ s body diameter in or mm
𝐶1 = Constant Imperial system: 1.6x10−5. International system: 16
𝐶2 = Constant (Imperial system: 0.1106. International system: 7.68x108)

Non Destructive Testing: Color Code:

All raw material is carefully inspected using electromagnetic Rod's ends are painted according to the following
and/or ultrasonic methods to ensure the soundness of the table:
