API, the American Petroleum Institute, stands as one of the most authoritative technical standards organizations globally for the petroleum, natural gas, and other energy industries. API standards primarily define specifications for steel pipes and equipment used in oil and gas extraction, holding particular authority in the OCTG and line pipe sectors.
In steel pipe production, API standards define the physical and chemical properties of pipelines, including: resistance to high temperatures and pressures, corrosion resistance, chemical composition control, connection methods, tolerances, and process traceability. This ensures that API-compliant steel pipes offer greater practicality and safety compared to ordinary structural steel pipes.

For steel pipe manufacturers, API certification serves as a passport to the international market. Manufacturers holding API certification demonstrate rigorous quality control and testing systems, representing a key technological threshold in the oil and gas industry. API-certified steel pipes are approved for use in international oil and gas projects.

Unlike other standards, API specifications are primarily tailored for the oil and gas sector. ASTM standards cover a broader range, particularly excelling in structural piping, while EN standards are predominantly used for construction and scaffolding piping. Consequently, the oil and gas industry widely adheres to API standards, with other standards serving primarily as supplementary requirements for regional compliance.

API 5L certificate

Common API Standards

API 5L

API 5L Pipe

API 5CT

API 5CT

Api 5l

This standard is widely used in oil and gas transportation, primarily involving seamless and welded pipe production processes, suitable for long-distance applications. Common steel grades include: PSL1: B, X42, X46, X52, X60, X65, X70; and PSL2, which adds stricter inspection requirements based on PSL1.

API 5CT

This standard represents one of the technically advanced and production-demanding specifications in the oil and gas industry, primarily applied in extraction and transportation projects. Common steel grades include: J55/K55/L80/C90/P110, etc. It categorizes pipes into casing and tubing types, used within natural gas extraction wells. These pipes withstand high-temperature, high-pressure, and highly corrosive environments.

API standards encompass more than just dimensional, strength, and chemical property specifications—they constitute a comprehensive steel pipe production system. Every stage, from raw materials to manufacturing, inspection, and traceability, is governed by standardized regulations. This not only provides customers with verifiable benchmarks but also establishes production standards for pipe manufacturers, fostering greater transparency throughout the entire transaction process.

Importance of API Certification

Market Access Requirements

The fundamental standard for the oil and gas industry—whether for extraction or transportation—API encompasses all pipeline standards and is an essential qualification for large-scale oil and gas extraction projects. Pipelines without API certification generally cannot enter overseas markets. This is particularly true for international bidding projects, which require pipelines to obtain API certification.
Symbol of Brand Strength

API certification demonstrates a manufacturer’s comprehensive capabilities in raw material selection, production processes, rigorous quality control, and testing technologies. It showcases the manufacturer’s strength and elevates its international standing. In overseas markets, API certification is a prerequisite for selecting a supplier.
Customer Assurance

API specifies most pipeline performance characteristics and dimensions, providing customers with verifiable standards. This reduces the risk of customers procuring non-compliant pipelines.
