Achieving the API 7–1 certification

As a manufacturer of parts or assembly for the companies like the following, your business needs to meet customer demands and legal issues effectively. These are -

• Directional drilling machine
• Mud motor businesses
• Electric line
• Wireline company
• Contractors and renters

Large scale computerized lathes, mills producing downhole tools, fit for purpose machines, other equipment capable of creating spiral troughs needs improvement and efficiency. All this is possible through API 7–1 verification using appropriate quality assurance procedures, full dimensional, mag practice, and blacklight inspection.

Such quality manufacturing and service outcomes are possible if your business uses state of the art technology, system projected support, etc. This enables a new form of precision tools to be manufactured by your business, along with flexibility. When done right, the same allows customers to optimize tools, their lifespan, cost efficiency, and productivity as per the industry standards or even engineering design requirements.

Documentation and measurement of vital industry equipment through API 7–1 certification mechanism

If you wish to proceed with the API 7–1 certification mechanism for your Business and manufacturing processes, you need to have appropriate documentation and measurement guidelines. Although using a third-party service provider can help you to ease the process and achieve the desired results. Once done, it will help you gauge, improve, meet, and exceed the API and customer service experience.

Using the above-mentioned standard versions, you can deliver products to your customers as per the product specifications and attain customer satisfaction. Production workers must check and document the specific tools, and third-party service providers can double-check the process to ensure that nonconforming material is shipped to the customers.

Inspection tools and techniques -

Various tools may be used on an everyday basis to check, inspect, and promote the products. However, these may also include the following aspects -

• Inside micrometers
• Outside micrometers
• Height and ring gage
• Gage maker precision
• Mechanical inspection equipment
• Optical comparators, etc.

Using the SPI mentioned above specifications, specific design and mechanical properties need to be achieved, especially for rotary drill stem systems. So, the following application components can be used to attain the best results -

• Bit and pin connector
• Drill collar
• Tool joints
• Bit sub
• Crossover sub
• Pin connector
• Drill pipe
• Kelly — valve and drives
• Swivel — sub and systems

Benefits of using API 7–1 specification

Apart from legal compliance, the process mentioned above can bring a competitive advantage. It also helps to boost customer satisfaction and service outcomes. Improves structure, process, and internal processes and hence enhances the operation and maintenance schedule. The same also helps reduce risks. For achieving this -

• Cold rolling is performed on the connections that are premium or as an optional choice for standard API threads
• Break-in connection and specific load testing may also be achieved on request

Connections may then be moved for internal inspection that may also entail NDT — MPI or DP, and the same may also be ensured that external surface treatment using paint and phosphate is achieved.
