What is the need for API 20 series
What is the need for API 20 series
(OP)
Understand that API has recently issued API 20A, API 20B, API 20D, API 20E etc
The Need for API 20 is not understood. It just lists the material that are already in ASTM and also lists the issues that are already in ASTM
For example API 20E is for bolt and nuts for Oil field application. But when one goes into detail they list ASTM grades. The rationale behind creating more and more standards addressing ASTM requirement is not clearly understood. What exactly is the purpose of API 20 series specifications?
