I have a meeting with all the staff and management today at 14.30 WIB in the office, so I have to prepare all the stuff that I need for it, and before I go to the meeting, it's better that I post this Piping & Fabrication blog first, because I worry if the meeting will take a long time and make me doesn't have a chance to post this blog and this is what we discuss today.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) publishes specifications (Spec.), bulletins (Bull.), recommended practices (RP), standards (Std.), and other publications (Publ.) as an aid to procurement of standardized equipment and materials. These publications are primarily intended for use by the petroleum industry. However, they can be and are used by others in that they are referenced in a code or invoked in the purchase order/specification governing the design and construction of piping systems. For example API Specification 5L and the API Standard 605 are referenced in ASME B31.1, Power Piping Code.
The following documents, which relate to piping, are published by the API.
