API 5000 - What does it refer to?

API 5000 - What does it refer to?

(OP)
Hello.

Does anyone know what API 5000 refers to?

I cant seem to find it. But someone insists that it exists to valve related issues.

Kind help is much appreciated.

Regards

RE: API 5000 - What does it refer to?

API 5000, 10000 are used in reference to wellhead 'christmas tree' pressure ratings as well used for the wing valve, master valve ratings.  There may be higher classes as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have any references or information to point you to a specific URL.  I'd suggest you contact someone in the oil production side of things (Halliburton for example) and ask them for a lead to talk to.

TD2K gave correct information. If you want to learn more about such terms, and find links to many sources of related topics, go to http://www.woodcousa.com/ and click on the  Web Site Tools link ( in red on the left side of the page ). There you will find all current API Specification 6A flanges, with a history, dimensions, working pressures, useful tips about pressure control equipment, etc. Good luck on your future learning.
