Innovative design, unbeatable

performance, unmatched value.
Our brands are deeply committed to delivering leading-edge technologies
with superior quality, world-class manufacturing and unsurpassed
support. Each brand brings results in optimized production rates and life-
cycle costs for oil-and-gas producers around the globe.

Norris standard: The benchmark for

sucker rods
As a world-class leader in sucker rod technologies, the name
Norris is synonymous with rod lift. Since 1882, we have set
the standard for rods and accessories that incorporate long-
lasting materials, stringent manufacturing processes, the
highest quality control, and optimized designs. With Norris
sucker rods, wells produce at optimum levels longer. For
improving ROI, there’s no better choice.

We are constantly striving to develop new products that

can carry on a legacy of innovation. Our highly experienced
Technical Services team consists of subject matter experts
that are capable of providing reliable guidance from the
drawing board to the final product installation. Norris stands
behind every product that it sells.
We guarantee that if any newly manufactured Norris product
fails to comply with API Specification 11B, Norris will replace it
at no cost to the customer.

ENHANCED ROD LIFE

Norris’s unique NOR-PEENING® process greatly enhances rod strength and corrosion
tolerance.

LOWEST TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

Designed to significantly outlast any other rods on the market, Norris rods provide the
greatest lifetime value available in the industry today.

INCREASED OPERATIONAL PROFIT

Our rods are built with the customer’s bottom line in mind. Quality Norris rods
drastically reduce the need for rod replacement, well downtimes and maintenance

Norris steel sucker rods & pony rods

Norris Steel Sucker Rods are manufactured from
micro-alloyed, modified special quality hot rolled
carbon or alloy steel. Bar and sucker rod dimensions
and tolerances conform to API Specification 11B, latest
edition, and AISI Steel Products Manual.
All rods are straightened and inspected by Eddy
Current for surface defects. Both ends are upset
by automatic high-speed hot forging. Rods are full
length normalized to relieve residual stresses. Air-
quenched and tempered to refine and homogenize
grain structure then, any remaining scale is finally
removed during the NOR-PEENING® process. Upset
pin blanks are machined and dimensions gauged. Pin
threads are cold-formed to strengthen the thread from
fatigue. An inhibitor-lubricant is applied to each pin
and thread protector installed. An oil soluble coating
protects Norris rods from atmospheric corrosion in
storage. All rods are bundled to prevent handling
damage during transportation to the well site. Quality
control inspections are performed at each step of the
manufacturing process.
Norris Pony Rods are manufactured to the same
chemical and physical properties, dimensions,
tolerances and rod body diameters as Norris rods.
Pony rods are available in 2 ft. (0,61 m), 4 ft. (1,22 m),
6 ft. (1,83 m), 8 ft. (2,44 m) and 10 ft. (3,05 m) lengths,
depending on size and grade. Other lengths are
available on special order.
Sucker rods are available in 5/8 inch (15,88 mm), 3/4
inch (19,05 mm), 7/8 inch (22,23 mm), 1 inch (25,4 mm),
1-1/8 inch (25,58 mm) and 1-1/4 inch (31,75 mm) rod
body diameters and in both 25 ft. (7,62 m) and 30 ft.
(9,144 m) lengths, depending on size and grade.
