Full title and description

ISO 10436:1993 — Petroleum and natural gas industries — General-purpose steam turbines for refinery service. International standard that adopts the requirements of API Standard 611 (3rd edition, August 1988) with modifications for international use; specifies minimum technical requirements for general-purpose steam turbines intended for refinery service.

Abstract

This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements for general-purpose steam turbines for refinery service. The requirements are based on the third edition of API Standard 611 (August 1988) and have been adopted with specified modifications to make them suitable for international standardization. The document outlines essential technical, inspection and testing requirements for turbines used in petroleum and natural gas refinery applications.

Scope

ISO 10436:1993 applies to general-purpose steam turbines intended for refinery service in the petroleum and natural gas industries. It sets out minimum requirements for design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and preparation for shipment by adopting API Standard 611 (3rd edition, August 1988) as the normative technical basis and indicating the ISO-specific modifications. The standard is intended for turbines used in typical refinery auxiliary and driver applications rather than special-purpose or critical-service turbines.

Key topics and requirements

• Adoption and modification of API Standard 611 (3rd ed., Aug 1988) requirements for international use.
• Design and dimensional requirements for general-purpose steam turbines used in refinery service.
• Materials, manufacturing and fabrication requirements to ensure mechanical integrity and interchangeability.
• Inspection and testing procedures, including shop and site acceptance tests.
• Documentation, marking, and delivery/packaging requirements.
• Requirements for auxiliary systems commonly associated with turbines (lubrication, controls and instrumentation referenced or via related standards).
• Performance and operational acceptance criteria consistent with API 611 guidance for general-purpose turbines.

Typical use and users

This standard was intended for turbine manufacturers, refinery engineering and procurement teams, equipment specifiers, commissioning and maintenance engineers, and conformity assessment bodies working within the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas sectors. It served as a procurement and design reference for general-purpose steam turbines used to drive pumps, compressors and other refinery auxiliaries.

Related standards

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10436:1993 is an international standard that set minimum requirements for general-purpose steam turbines used in refinery service; it adopted API Standard 611 (3rd edition, August 1988) with ISO-specific modifications.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers technical requirements including design, materials, fabrication, inspection, shop and site testing, documentation and shipment preparation for general-purpose steam turbines used in petroleum and natural gas refinery applications.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Turbine manufacturers, refinery engineering and procurement teams, plant commissioning and maintenance personnel, and conformity assessment/standards bodies working with refinery rotating equipment.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10436:1993 has been withdrawn (withdrawal recorded 11 March 2019). It is not an active ISO requirement; users should consult the latest edition of API Standard 611 for current industry guidance on general-purpose turbines and consult ISO publications (for example ISO 10437 for special-purpose turbines and the ISO/TC 67 work programme) for related, current ISO documents.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the family of ISO/TC 67 standards addressing turbines and rotating equipment for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. Related ISO standards include ISO 10437 (special‑purpose steam turbines) and the ISO 10438 series (lubrication and related systems).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Steam turbine, refinery service, general-purpose, API 611, petroleum, natural gas, turbine testing, turbine inspection, lubrication systems.
