API 10D Minimum Restoring Force Reference

API Spec 10D minimum restoring force is defined at 67% standoff for bow-spring centralizers. Pick a casing size to see the published minimum our bow springs are built to meet or exceed.

Casing size Min restoring force (67% standoff)
3½ in (89 mm) 396 lbf (1,761 N)
8⅝ in (219 mm) 1,440 lbf (6,405 N)
20 in (508 mm) 1,880 lbf (8,363 N)

Values per the API Spec 10D restoring-force framework. Intermediate casing sizes carry their own API 10D minimums — ask Welong for the full size table. Restoring force is measured with load accuracy within 5% and displacement within 0.8 mm (1/32 in).
