2 - 25 MILLION CYCLES - INSPECTION RECOMMENDED - SUCKER ROD IS NEAR 50% OF ITS FATIGUE LIFE EXPECTANCY

25 - 35 MILLION CYCLES - RE-USE NOT RECONMENDED - SUCKER ROD IS NEAR 70% OF ITS FATIGUE LIFE EXPECTANCY

36 - 50+ MILLION CYCLES - RE-USE NOT RECOMMENDED

Please note that chart number values are in Millions of Cycles and are based on 100% Runtime

Theoretical Values are for Reciprocating Rod Pump applications only

Sucker Rod life may be in excess of 50 Million cycles depending on Ideal well conditions and string design
