In critical applications within the oil and gas industry, the integrity and reliability of bolted connections are essential for ensuring safe and efficient operations.
API 20E, developed by the American Petroleum Institute, sets the standard for the specification of alloy and carbon steel bolting materials used in high-pressure and high-temperature service environments. This standard outlines the manufacturing, testing, and documentation requirements necessary to produce high-quality bolting that can withstand the rigorous demands of subsea, offshore, and onshore equipment. By adhering to API 20E and 20F, manufacturers and end-users can ensure consistent performance, enhanced safety, and compliance with industry best practices.
