Special Notes:
A) The above table gives the maximum pull load that may be applied to the smallest rod in a sucker rod string.
This assumes a steady slow pull with no jerk or pull that runs into the load.
B) CAUTION: These load figures are based on the capacity of new steel. Sucker rods that have been in service
for a long period of time may break under these loads.
C) For old rods or rods which have seen heavy loads during their life cycle, then the pull loads should be
de-rated to 70% of above load values.
D) If two or more different grades are combined in the rod string, then pull to the lesser value.
