ISO 10441-2007规定了石油、石化和天然气行业中特殊用途的两台机器的转轴之间的动力传输用联轴器的要求。此类应用通常在大型和/或高速机器中，在可能需要长时间连续运行的服务中，通常是不共享的，并且对装置的持续运行至关重要。根据协议，它可以用于其他应用或服务。 ISO 10441-2007涵盖的联轴节旨在适应轴的平行（或横向）偏移、角度偏差和轴向位移，而不会对联轴节机器施加不可接受的机械载荷。适用于齿轮、金属挠性元件、套筒轴和扭转弹性联轴器。 ISO 10441-2007涵盖了专用联轴器的设计、结构材料、制造质量、检验和测试。 ISO 10441-2007未定义特定应用中联轴器类型选择的标准。 ISO 10441-2007不适用于其他类型的联轴器，如离合器、液压、涡流、刚性、径向花键、链条和波纹管类型。

ISO 10441-2007 specifies the requirements for couplings for the transmission of power between the rotating shafts of two machines in special-purpose applications in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. Such applications are typically in large and/or high speed machines, in services that can be required to operate continuously for extended periods, are often unspared and are critical to the continued operation of the installation. By agreement, it can be used for other applications or services. Couplings covered by ISO 10441-2007 are designed to accommodate parallel (or lateral) offset, angular misalignment and axial displacement of the shafts without imposing unacceptable mechanical loading on the coupled machines. It is applicable to gear, metallic flexible element, quill shaft and torsionally resilient type couplings. ISO 10441-2007 covers the design, materials of construction, manufacturing quality, inspection and testing of special-purpose couplings. ISO 10441-2007 does not define criteria for the selection of coupling types for specific applications. ISO 10441-2007 is not applicable to other types of couplings, such as clutch, hydraulic, eddy-current, rigid, radial spline, chain and bellows types.
