1 Scope<\/p>\n

1.1 Purpose<\/p>\n

This standard specifies requirements for the qualification, production, and documentation of corrosion-resistant bolting used in the petroleum and natural gas industries.<\/p>\n

1.2 Applicability<\/p>\n

This standard applies when referenced by an applicable API equipment standard or otherwise specified as a requirement for compliance.<\/p>\n

1.3 Bolting Specification Levels (BSL)<\/p>\n

This standard establishes requirements for two bolting specification levels (BSL). These two BSL designations define different levels of technical, quality, 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 from this standard.<\/p>\n

1.4 Bolting Types for Qualification <\/p>\n

This standard covers the following product forms, processes, and sizes:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
