This project aims to create a new API design standard based on the updated 2004 ASME Section VIII Division 2 Appendix 4 methods currently used in API 6A, 16A, 16C, and 17D. The draft will be derived from Appendix I of API 16A, resolving differences between standards and must gain approval from SCs 6, 16, and 17. The task group comprises design experts utilizing the aforementioned standards, aiming for completion by December for submission at SCs' winter meetings.
