API Codes and Standard
API (American Petroleum Institute) codes and standards are industry guidelines and technical specifications developed by the American Petroleum Institute. The API is a trade association that represents the oil and natural gas industry in the United States. It develops standards and best practices to ensure safety, efficiency, and reliability in various aspects of the oil and gas industry. API codes and standards cover a wide range of areas related to the exploration, production, transportation, refining, and marketing of oil and gas. They provide guidelines for design, construction, operation, inspection, maintenance, and safety practices. These standards are developed through a consensus process involving industry experts, government agencies, and other stakeholders.
