Current stage: 50.00 Final text received or FDIS registered for formal approval Aug 4, 2026

Originator: ISO

Owner: ISO/TC 67/SC 3 Drilling and completion fluids, well cements and treatment fluids

Type: International Standard

ICS: 75.100 Lubricants, industrial oils and related products | 75.180.10 Exploratory, drilling and extraction equipment

Scope

ISO 13503-5:2006 provides standard testing procedures for evaluating proppants used in hydraulic fracturing and gravel packing operations. ISO 13503-5:2006 provides a consistent methodology for testing performed on hydraulic fracturing and/or gravel packing proppants. The "proppants" mentioned henceforth in this part of ISO 13503-5:2006 refer to sand, ceramic media, resin-coated proppants, gravel packing media, and other materials used for hydraulic fracturing and gravel-packing operations.
ISO 13503-5:2006 is not applicable for use in obtaining absolute values of proppant pack conductivities under downhole reservoir conditions.
