Recently, the reporter of China Metallurgical News learned from the official website of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that the international standard dedicated to the field of steel wire rope led by China was officially approved and released.(Steel wire ropes for the petroleum and natural gas industries - Minimum requirements and terms of acceptance)
The international standard was formally established in April 2021, with experts from the Metallurgical Industry Information Standard Research Institute undertaking the project convener, experts from Xianyang Gem Steel Pipe Steel Rope Co., Ltd. serving as the project leader, and relevant experts from inside and outside the United Nations jointly drafting. The project team members to jointly promote the technical progress of the industry as the purpose, for the oil and gas industry with steel wire rope new products and new technology applications, a number of technical indicators verification, and finally the newly included steel wire rope product specifications and technical parameters and other related content reached a consensus, and the standard content was revised and improved. The release of the standard marks the further improvement of China's international standardization influence in the field of steel wire rope, to promote China's advanced products to "go out" and provide help for the high-quality development of the steel wire rope industry.
With the continuous development of oil drilling and production technology and equipment, downstream users' expectations for steel wire rope operation continue to increase, and the demand for high breaking tension steel wire rope increases year by year. In the oil market, the production enterprises continue to introduce the compacted steel wire rope, which has excellent performance and meets the new requirements of oil and gas exploration and development. Due to the earlier release time, the old version of the standard does not involve the specific requirements of the new application specifications and technical parameters in the industry, and can not meet the new needs of the application of steel wire rope in the field of oil drilling and production. The standard in the development process combined with the new needs of the industry development, relying on the technical data accumulated in the research and development, production and testing of domestic enterprises, supplement the relevant technical requirements of compacted steel wire rope and compacted steel wire rope, meet the current market needs, provide technical support for regulating the production and trade of steel wire rope in the oil and gas industry, and promote the overall technological progress of the industry.
