BIS CERTIFICATION FOR TRANSMISSION STEEL ROLLER CHAINS AND CHAIN WHEELS FOR OIL FIELD APPLICATIONS IS 14696

September 19, 2023 | 3 min Read

BIS Certification is mandatory for transmission steel roller chains and chain wheels used in oil field applications as per IS 14696:2000. These chains and chain wheels are critical components in oil field machinery, including drilling rigs, pumping units, and conveyor systems, where they are subjected to high loads, harsh environments, and continuous operation. BIS certification ensures that these products meet strict standards for material quality, durability, and performance, providing manufacturers and end-users with confidence in safety, reliability, and efficiency. This Indian Standard specifies the requirements for transmission steel roller chains and matching chain wheels specifically designed for oilfield applications. The standard covers design, material composition, dimensions, mechanical properties, and performance criteria to ensure reliable operation under extreme conditions.


 

IS 14696:2000 – Transmission Steel Roller Chains and Chain Wheels for Oil Field Applications

Oilfield chains and chain wheels must withstand high tensile loads, resist wear, fatigue, and corrosion caused by exposure to drilling fluids, chemicals, and varying temperatures. By defining clear parameters for roller diameter, pitch, link dimensions, pin hardness, and chain wheel tooth profile, IS 14696:2000 ensures consistent quality, interchangeability, and operational efficiency. Chains and chain wheels certified under IS 14696:2000 undergo rigorous testing to ensure adherence to the standard. These tests include tensile strength, elongation, hardness of pins and plates, wear resistance, fatigue endurance, and dimensional accuracy. Chain wheels are evaluated for tooth profile accuracy, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to wear and environmental stress. Chains are also tested for performance under continuous operation, high torque, and harsh oilfield conditions. By ensuring compliance through these tests, manufacturers provide products that maintain operational reliability, reduce the risk of downtime, and improve overall safety in oilfield operations.
