API 1104 Source of Pipelines and Related Facilities

Developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API), API 1104 standard is an industry standard for welding applications. This standard offers methods for the production of high quality welds using qualified welders, using approved welding procedures, materials and equipment in a new and clearly understood format. The full name of the standard is as follows: API 1104 Source of pipelines and related facilities.

This standard contains detailed and years of industry knowledge and provides audit methods to authorized organizations to ensure accurate analysis of resource quality by the use of qualified technicians and approved methods and equipment.

API 1104 standard covers gas and arc welding of bottom, filler and socket welds in low alloy steel pipes. These pipes are used in the compression, pumping and transmission of products such as crude oil, petroleum products, fuel gases, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. It is used. This standard applies to welding processes in pipes that are new or in use. Welding processes can be welding protected metal arc welding, submerged arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, gas metal arc welding, flux arc welding, plasma arc welding, oxyacetylene welding or flash butt welding. Or manual, semi-automatic, mechanized or automatic welding technique or a combination of these techniques may be applied.

The standard also provides inspection methods to ensure accurate analysis of resource quality using qualified technicians and approved methods and equipment. It covers radiographic, magnetic particle, liquid penetrating and ultrasonic testing procedures.

Briefly, the API 1104 standard is a standard that provides methods for the production of high quality welds through the use of certified welders using approved welding procedures, materials and equipment.
