The sucker rod manufacturers are fully cognizant of the fact that sucker rods are required to fulfill one of the most stringent tasks that is offered by today's petroleum producing program. In an effort to combat this challenge the industry has solicited the full support of this nation's great metallurgical research capacity. However, basic steel and steel alloys are merely the initial step toward an end, and the responsibility of providing the necessary medium is entirely the responsibility of the manufacturer, and the degree of responsibility lies with each individual manufacturer. The capability, integrity and reputation of the manufacturer is entirely reflected in his eventual product.
