MAXIMUM WEIGHT INDICATOR LOAD

The table below provides the maximum weight indicator load for a rod string in “like new” condition. The values for maximum short term load are 90 percent of the required minimum

yield strength for new sucker rods conforming to the requirements in API 11B. For conditions other than new or “like new” sucker rods conforming to the requirements in API 11B, the

values for maximum short term load should be de-rated by an appropriate factor based on the users experience.

For a single rod taper, the values listed for the size and grade are the maximum values for weight indicator load. For multiple rod tapers, calculate the total weight of all sucker rods

above the rod taper with the smallest diameter and add this calculated weight to the value listed for the size and grade with the smallest diameter. The sum of these two values is the

maximum weight indicator load that may be applied to the rod string.

The values for maximum short term load should be reached by a slow, steady, upward motion to prevent sudden load spikes capable of overloading equipment.
