API (American Petroleum Institute) Standards, Testing and Analysis

API (American Petroleum Institute) is an organization that develops worldwide standards for the oil and gas industry. API is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and has published around 700 standards covering the entire oil and gas industry.

API standards advocate safe, replaceable equipment and materials, from proven, robust engineering and operating practices to environmental protection. This includes guidelines, standards, specifications, recommended practices, guidelines and technical reports. For businesses in general, API standards aim to improve operational excellence, ensure compliance and safe practices, and reduce risks in equipment failure.

The oil industry doesn't have much time for mistakes. In this regard, when security and time are important, API standards are important. API standards provide requirements for the design, manufacture, and testing of lifting equipment suitable for use in drilling and manufacturing operations.

API standards ensure industry-wide uniformity and adherence to security best practices. API standards mainly include:

• Design and design changes
• Product traceability
• Product requirements
• Monitoring and measuring product performance
• Verification of controls and preventive action
• Review of product requirements
• Monitoring and measuring product conformity
• Final audit activities

Implementing API standards and having the necessary tests and analyzes within this framework ensures that the company remains competitive. These tools reduce latency, increase efficiency, and ensure security.

API standards mainly offer:

• Verification that products meet the requirements of API specifications and standards
• A management system that ensures processes are implemented to create consistent, compliant products
• Processes and controls to identify and address customer requirements, complaints or product issues
• Method of tracking products back to the original manufacturer and design and performance requirements
• A tool for reporting industry issues and non-compliance

Another reason to value API standards is that they are often legally required.
