6. API Certification

API is the abbreviation of American Petroleum Institute, founded in 1919, according to the characteristics of the industry and the needs of the industry itself. In 1924, the API specification was formulated to provide technical guidance for the production of related products in the petroleum industry. As API specifications developed by API organizations are expanding with the advancement, versatility, security and influence of the US petroleum industry worldwide, API specifications have been widely adopted in countries around the world.

The API standard mainly specifies equipment performance, and sometimes includes design and process specifications. The standards development areas include oil production, refining, measurement, transportation, sales, safety and fire protection, environmental regulations, etc. The information technology standards include EDI for the oil and gas industry. , communications and information  technology applications.

The API enjoys high prestige in the United States and in other countries around the world. It is a petroleum machinery certification body recognized by the US Department of Commerce and the US Trade Commission. Its petrochemical and oil recovery machinery technical standards have been  adopted by many countries. Oil companies in many countries in the Middle East, South America and Asia generally require products with API mark to be eligible for bidding when bidding for petroleum machinery. Therefore, the petroleum machinery equipment with the API mark is not only considered to be of reliable quality but also of advanced level, and the products are accepted and trusted by users when they enter the international market.

7. SIL

SIL (Safety Integrity Level) - Safety Integrity Level.

The SIL technical standard was first promulgated by the International Electro technical Commission (IEC) and implemented by IEC/TC65. The National Standardization Technical Committee of SIL Technology is the “National Process Industry Measurement Control and Automation” Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC124), and the Secretariat is the Institute of Mechanical Industry Instrumentation Integrated Technology and Economy.

SIL certification is divided into 4 levels: SIL1, SIL2, SIL3, SIL4, including two levels of product and system, of which SIL4 has the highest requirements.

8. Fire Test Certification

API 607 and API 6FA are fire tests for valves 6D and 6A. Generally, only 6° valves that rotate 90 ° require API 607, while others require API 6FA. PAI is the abbreviation of American Petroleum Institute. 6FA is a fireproof certification for 6A standard valve fire test, and a 607 fire certification for 6D (refers to only 90 degree valve) standard valve fire test certification.
