Well head piping as per API 6500

[onrush]

Dear members,

Now is my first experience for well head piping.

The P&ID requires spec break between ASME B31.3 and API 6500.

My questions are;

1. What is API 6500 piping?
2. What are the codes&standards that govern API 6500 piping? (wall thickness, rating, material spec, etc.)

Thanks in advance....

Do you mean API 6A, 5000 psi rating?

There is no 6500 psi rating in API 6A.
That is why I ask this question.......
