API Standard 682, titled "Pumps - Shaft Sealing Systems for Centrifugal and Rotary Pumps," is the American Petroleum Institute standard for end-face mechanical seals. [1] The purpose of API 682 is to assist in the selection and operation of end face mechanical seals in centrifugal pumps .
API has entered petroleum industry nomenclature in a number of areas: API gravity, a measure of the density of petroleum. API number, a unique identifier applied to each petroleum exploration or production well drilled in the United States. API unit, a standard measure of natural gamma radiation measured in a borehole. [16] "Non-API", an item ...
The American Petroleum Institute (API) oldest and most successful programs is in the development of API standards which started with its first standard in 1924. API maintains over 500 standards covering the oil and gas field. [2] The following is a partial list specific to welding:
A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process. In the process industry, a standard set of symbols is used to prepare drawings of processes. The instrument symbols used in these drawings are generally based on International Society of Automation (ISA) Standard S5.1
HMD Pumps (A Sundyne subsidiary) invented the magnetic drive pump in 1947. The Sundyne sealless magnetic drive pumps are leak-free and ideal for difficult, high-value, and hazardous fluid processing where containment, reliability, and safety are imperative. Sundyne Ansimag sealless magnetic drive pumps are non-metallic and fit ANSI standards.
Includes Vessels, Pumps, Valves, Piping, Storage Tanks, and Supports; Subsection NE Class MC supports; Containment Vessel; Penetration Assemblies (Does not include piping, pumps and valves which if passing through the containment must be class 1 or class 2) Subsection NF Supports; Plate and Shell Type; Linear Type; Standard Supports
ASTM method D4007 [2] or API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards chapter 10.4 [3] are commonly used to measure BS&W. These methods both consist of mixing equal volumes of solvent and crude oil then centrifuging in order to separate any solids, free water, or suspended particles.
A typical gravimetric API separator. An API oil–water separator is a device designed to separate gross amounts of oil and suspended solids from industrial wastewater produced at oil refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and other industrial oily water sources.
