Full title and description

STB DIN EN ISO 10439-4 E 2010-09 — Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries — Axial and centrifugal compressors and expander-compressors — Part 4: Expander-compressors. This entry refers to the English (E) / national-adoption form of the draft / national publication bearing the date 2010‑09; the content addresses minimum technical requirements, recommendations and data-sheet items specific to expander-compressors used in process applications.

Abstract

This part of ISO 10439 specifies additional requirements and recommendations for expander‑compressors used in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, to be read in conjunction with the general requirements of ISO 10439‑1. It covers design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and vendor data requirements specific to expander‑compressors and includes annex material such as datasheets and recommended vendor information.

General information

• Status: National/adoption English version dated 2010‑09 (catalogue entry); subsequently superseded by the consolidated series edition published in 2015 (ISO 10439‑4:2015).
• Publication date: referenced here as 2010‑09 for the DIN/EN/ISO E-form entry; the finalized international edition for Part 4 was published February 2015 (ISO 10439‑4:2015).
• Publisher: Originally issued as a DIN/EN ISO national/adopted English form (DIN/EN national body publications of ISO texts); the ratified international version is published by ISO.
• ICS / categories: 71.120.99, 75.180.x (process compressors / petroleum & gas industry standards).
• Edition / version: E 2010‑09 (national/EN/English form as catalogued); technical series edition consolidated and published internationally as ISO 10439‑4:2015 (edition 1).
• Number of pages: Approx. 50–70 pages depending on the national/EN publication format; the ISO 2015 edition is listed as about 52 pages.

Scope

Specifies minimum requirements and recommendations for expander‑compressors intended for special‑purpose applications handling gas or process air in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. It supplements the general requirements given in ISO 10439‑1 by adding clauses, datasheet items and vendor information relevant to expander‑compressors (materials, dimensions, performance, testing and inspection). The Part 4 text is intended to be used together with the other parts of the ISO 10439 series for a complete procurement/specification package.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terminology specific to expander‑compressors and their service conditions.
• Design and materials guidance for pressure‑containing and rotating parts intended for hydrocarbon service.
• Vendor data and drawing requirements, including recommended datasheets and information to be supplied with offers and deliveries.
• Inspection, testing and factory acceptance tests (FAT) specific to expander‑compressors.
• Performance, balancing, alignment and vibration limits relevant to safe operation in petrochemical plants.
• Recommendations for marking, preservation, documentation and preparation for shipment for process equipment.

Typical use and users

Used by engineering procurement departments, compressor manufacturers and vendors, plant owners/operators in oil & gas and petrochemical industries, inspection and testing agencies, and design/specification engineers preparing procurement documents for expander‑compressors or combined expanders/compressors. It is also used by third‑party inspectors and classification/standards teams to verify vendor compliance with industry minimums.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the Part 4 entry in the ISO 10439 family addressing expander‑compressors for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries; the label shown (STB DIN EN ISO 10439‑4 E 2010‑09) corresponds to a national/EN/English adoption/catalogue entry dated September 2010.

Q: What does it cover?

A: Additional, part‑specific requirements for expander‑compressors (design, materials, vendor data, inspection and testing) to be read with ISO 10439‑1 (general requirements) and the other parts of the series.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, suppliers and purchasers of process expander‑compressors, plant engineering and procurement teams, test/inspection organisations and standards compliance personnel in the oil, gas and petrochemical sectors.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2010‑09 EN/ national/English entry is catalogued as an earlier/national form and the authoritative consolidated international edition for Part 4 was published as ISO 10439‑4:2015; users should reference the 2015 international edition for the current, ratified text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10439 is a multipart standard: Part 1 (general requirements), Part 2 (non‑integrally geared centrifugal and axial compressors), Part 3 (integrally geared centrifugal compressors) and Part 4 (expander‑compressors). The 2015 set replaced the older ISO 10439:2002 consolidated document.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Expander‑compressor, centrifugal compressor, axial compressor, petroleum, petrochemical, natural gas, procurement datasheet, factory acceptance test, ISO 10439.
