Sucker Rod Pump Barrels

Harbison-Fischer uses state-of-the-art, proprietary, computer controlled honing machines, CNC lathes and specialized inspection procedures to produce the finest barrel tubes in the industry. These barrels have the most consistent hardness, inside diameter size from end to end and thread size of any barrels available. All API dimensions are adhered to and API quality standards are exceeded. They are available in many lengths, diameter sizes from 1-1/16" through 7-3/4" and materials for all sucker rod pumping conditions. The various materials, coatings and treatments are listed in the pages below:

H-F Carbonitrided (16- Prefix)

The Carbonitrided barrel is made from a low carbon steel that is carbonitrided on the inside surface only to increase the carbon content. It is then induction hardened on the inside surface to achieve a surface hardness of HRC 60 minimum for .005" depth per side and precision honed and threaded. The core and outside surface still retain their lower hardness, strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance. An advantage of the H-F Carbonitrided barrel is that it is not a coating which can flake off. It is a treatment of the barrel's inside surface that can only wear off, since the inside hard material treatment is an integral part of the barrel. It is recommended for moderate or severe abrasion in mild to moderate corrosive environments. The minimum yield strength is 75,000 psi.

H-F Tuff Temper (5- Prefix)

The Tuff Temper barrel is processed in the same manner and has the same advantages as the 16- Carbonitrided barrel, and is tempered back to a lower hardness of HRC 50 minimum. Likewise, the core and outside surface still retain their lower hardness, strength and ductility. It is recommended for up to moderate abrasion in mild to moderate corrosive environments. The minimum yield strength is 75,000 psi.

H-F Carbonitrided Corrosion Resistant Steel (9- Prefix)

The Carbonitrided Corrosion Resistant Steel barrel is made from a special 5% chrome steel that has proven its resistance to corrosion in many oil field environments. It is processed in the same manner as the H-F Carbonitrided barrel and shares the same properties with an inside surface hardness of HRC 60 minimum for .005" depth per side. Its recommended application is severe abrasion in mild to moderate corrosive applications. Its minimum yield strength is 75,000 psi.

H-F Brass (1- Prefix)

The Brass barrel is manufactured from arsenical admiralty brass. It is recommended for corrosive conditions in the absence of abrasion and has a relatively high yield strength of 50,000 psi.

H-F Chrome Plated Barrels

For abrasive conditions the following materials are available with a hard chrome plating on the inside surface. Its hardness is HRC 67 minimum with a thickness of .003" per side. It should not be used in acid conditions and is recommended for mild corrosion and up to severe abrasive conditions. The materials below are listed in order of their corrosion resistance with their abrasion resistance being equal. The most corrosion resistant is listed first.

H-F Brass Chrome Plated (6- prefix)
H-F Corrosion Resistant Steel Chrome Plated (67- prefix)
H-F Plain Steel Chrome Plated (7- prefix)

H-F Plain Steel (no prefix)

The H-F Plain Steel barrel is made from a medium carbon, high strength steel that is precision honed and threaded to exceed API specifications. It is not hardened or coated and is recommended for mild to moderate corrosive conditions where abrasion is not a consideration. The minimum yield strength is 70,000 psi.

H-F Nickel Carbide Plated Barrels

For abrasive and corrosive conditions Harbison-Fischer offers a Nickel Carbide Plating on the inside, outside and threads of the barrel. It is plated .003" thick which is twice the thickness of industry barrels. The exception is the H-F Brass Nickel Carbide barrel which is plated at .0015" thickness per side since it is an extremely corrosion resistant material. H-F Nickel Carbide coating contains very small, extremely hard (HRA 88) carbide particles suspended in a uniform and continuous nickel plating. This combination of carbide and nickel is recommended for up to severe abrasion and severe corrosion. Carbide provides the abrasion resistance and nickel supplies the corrosion barrier. The materials below are listed in order of their corrosion resistance with their abrasion resistance being equal. The most corrosion resistant is listed first.
H-F Brass Nickel Carbide (88- prefix)
H-F Corrosion Resistant Steel Nickel Carbide Plated (68- prefix)
H-F Plain Steel Nickel Carbide Plated (78- prefix)
