Steel Sucker Rods & Pony Rods

NORRIS

Engineered performance. Designed tough.

Norris stands behind

every product that it sells.

We guarantee that if

any newly manufactured

Norris product fails to comply

with API Specification 11B,

Norris will replace it at

no cost to the customer.

A detailed explanation of our

Zero Defects Guarantee

may be found on our website,

to relieve residual stresses, air-quenched and tempered

to refine and homogenize grain structure, and surface

shot-blasted to remove any remaining heat treat scale.

Upset pin blanks are machined and dimensions gauged.

Pin threads are cold-formed to strengthen the thread from

fatigue. An inhibitor-lubricant is applied to each pin and

thread protector installed. An oil soluble coating protects

Norris rods from atmospheric corrosion in storage.

All rods are bundled to prevent handling damage during

transportation to the well site. Quality control inspections

are performed at each step of the manufacturing process.

Norris Pony Rods are manufactured to the same chemical

and physical properties, dimensions, tolerances and rod

body diameters as Norris rods. Pony rods are available

in 2 ft. (0,61 m), 4 ft. (1,22 m), 6 ft. (1,83 m), 8 ft. (2,44 m)

and 10 ft. (3,05 m) lengths, depending on size and grade.

Other lengths are available on special order.

Norris Steel Sucker Rods& Pony RodsNorris Steel Sucker Rods are manufactured from

micro-alloyed, modified special quality hot rolled carbon

or alloy steel. Bar and sucker rod dimensions and tolerances

conform to API Specification 11B, latest edition, and AISI

Steel Products Manual. Sucker rods are available in 5/8

inch (15,88 mm), 3/4 inch (19,05 mm), 7/8 inch (22,23

mm), 1 inch (25,4 mm), 1-1/8 inch (25,58 mm) and 1-1/4

inch (31,75 mm) rod body diameters and in both 25 ft.

(7,62 m) and 30 ft. (9,144 m) lengths, depending on size

and grade.

All rods are straightened and inspected by Eddy Current

for surface defects. Both ends are upset by automatic

high-speed hot forging. Rods are full length normalized
