Metallic Materials for Sucker-Rod Pumps for Corrosive Oilfield Environments

Specifies metallic material requirements for the construction of sucker-rod pumps for service in corrosive oilfield environments. Gives tables of recommended materials for mild, moderate, and severe metal-loss corrosion environments, as well as tables of typical mechanical properties of pump barrel materials and plunger materials. Includes appendices on case hardening processes for steel pump barrels for an H₂S environment and selection of optimum type of pump.
