Well, it is short for American Petroleum Institute and it is the largest trade association for the oil and natural gas industry in America. The API has produced a set of standards governing the construction of steel pipes, or so-called API steel pipes since the year 1969. Have you ever heard of the API Spec 2B? It is the specification for fabrication of structural steel pipe which contains information on pipe diameters and wall thickness.

The API claims to represent about 400 corporations involved in petroleum industry including production, refinement, distribution and other areas. As the national trade association, the API represents the oil and gas industry in the United States and it has developed operating standards and the petrochemical equipment.

The standard of API steel pipe can be represented in the API's sixth revision of Spec 2B. For example, the outside diameter of the API steel pipe should be 14 inches or greater. The wall thickness of the API steel pipe should be 3/8 of an inch or greater. The API's sixth revision of Spec 2B still gives the pressure testing for steel pipe in specialized applications.
