Material specification as per API 6A
(OP)
Hi Friends,
i am working in valve industry related with API 6A,
i am making material specification . Clause 5.2 material specification.
For clause 5.4 body , bonnet and end & outlet connection ,
In processing ( clause 5.4.3.2 hot working practice ) . Does hot working practice make by material manufacturer or API 6A product manufacturer?
i confuse cause , in API6A , clause 5.4.3.2 hot working practice, only have written that manufacturer shall document the hot working practice.

Manufacturer (API 6A product manufacturer) need to have specs that has to be fulfilled by sub-contractor (material manufacturer).
The specs is required to limit the end result product that manufacturer required.
During specs document creation, manufacturer might use some advice from their sub-contractor itself.
