Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10439-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 118, Compressors and pneumatic tools,
machines and equipment, Subcommittee SC 1, Process compressors, in collaboration with Technical
Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum, petrochemical and natural
gas industries, Subcommittee SC 6, Processing equipment and systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10439:2002), which has been technically
revised and split into four (4) parts.
ISO 10439 consists of the following parts, under the general title Axial and centrifugal compressors and
expander-compressors for special purpose applications handling gas of process air for petroleum,
petrochemical and natural gas industries:
Part 1: General requirements
Part 2: Non-integrally geared centrifugal and axial compressors
Part 3: Integrally geared centrifugal compressors
Part 4: Expander-compressors

Introduction
th
This International Standard is based on the 7 edition of the American Petroleum Institute standard API 617.
Users of this International Standard should be aware that further or differing requirements may be needed for
individual applications. This International Standard is not intended to inhibit a vendor from offering, or the
purchaser from accepting alternative equipment or engineering solutions for the individual application. This
may be particularly appropriate where there is innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is
offered, the vendor should identify any variations from this International Standard and provide details.
A Bullet (•) at the beginning of a clause or subclause indicates that either a decision is required or further
information is to be provided by the purchaser. This information should be indicated on data sheets or stated
in the enquiry or purchase order (see examples in ISO 10439-2 Annex A, ISO 10439-3 Annex A and
ISO 10439-4 Annex A).
In this International Standard, where practical, US Customary units are included in parentheses for
information.

understanding or use of the document.
3.1.14
inlet volumetric flow
flow rate expressed in volume flow units at the conditions of pressure, temperature, compressibility, and gas
composition, including moisture content, at the machine inlet flange
NOTE Inlet volumetric flow is a specific example of Actual Volumetric Flow. Actual volumetric flow is the volume flow
at any particular location such as interstage, impeller inlet or discharge or machine inlet or discharge. Actual volumetric
flow should not be used interchangeably therefore with inlet volumetric flow.
3.1.15
inner barrel assembly (centrifugal)
assembly consisting of the internal stationary parts that make up the removable portion of the flowpath,
including the inner barrel, the diaphragms, the impeller eye labyrinths and the diaphragm labyrinths
