Comparison of Norris 96 and 97 HS Sucker Rods
Comparison of Norris 96 and 97 HS Sucker Rods
(OP)
Can someone elaborate on the difference between Norris 96 and 97 high strength rods? Beyond minor differences in material specs (as below), I have heard 97 has better performance in a corrosive environment. Is that the only major difference? To clarify, there is a significant difference in cost, on the order of about 18%.
