38、istant Bolting for Use in the Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries 1 Scope 1.1 Purpose This standard specifies requirements for the qualification, production, and documentation of corrosion-resistant bolting used in the petroleum and natural gas industries. 1.2 Applicability This standard applies wh
39、en referenced by an applicable API equipment standard or otherwise specified as a requirement for compliance. 1.3 Bolting Specification Levels (BSL) This standard establishes requirements for two bolting specification levels (BSL). These two BSL designations define different levels of technical, qua
40、lity, and qualification requirements: BSL-2 and BSL-3. The BSLs are numbered in increasing levels of requirements in order to reflect increasing technical, quality, and qualification criteria. BSL-2 and BSL-3 are intended to be comparable to BSL-2 and BSL-3, as found in API 20E. BSL-1 is omitted fro
41、m this standard. 1.4 Bolting Types for Qualification This standard covers the following product forms, processes, and sizes: a) machined studs; b) machined bolts, screws, and nuts; c) cold-formed bolts, screws, and nuts with cut or cold-formed threads; d) hot-formed bolts and screws 1.5 in. (38.1 mm
42、) nominal diameter; e) hot-formed bolts and screws 1.5 in. (38.1 mm) nominal diameter; f) roll threaded studs, bolts, and screws 1.5 in. (38.1 mm) diameter; g) roll threaded studs, bolts, and screws 1.5 in. (38.1 mm) diameter; h) hot-formed nuts 1.5 in. (38.1 mm) nominal diameter; i) hot-formed nuts
43、 1.5 in. (38.1 mm) nominal diameter. 1.5 Application of the API Monogram If the product is manufactured at a facility licensed by API and is intended to be supplied bearing the API Monogram, the requirements of Annex A apply. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensabl
