API Spec 10D

This specification provides testing, performance, and marking requirements for casing bow-spring centralizers to be used in oil and natural gas well construction. The procedures provide verification testing for the manufacturer’s design, materials, and process specifications, and periodic testing to confirm the consistency of product performance. This specification is not applicable to other devices, such as rigid centralizers and cement baskets, or bow-spring centralizers used for other purposes (e.g., wireline tools, gravel pack, inner string).
