The API standards do not replace ASME, ASTM, or ANSI standards, so I am not sure what you are asking.

The API standards apply to mateials, products, and processes used in the Oil and Gas industry. There are a lot of them. They cover situations not covered by ASME, ASTM, or ANSI standards.

Why do we have local ordinances when we have state and federal laws?

When qualifying a WPS/PQR in accordance with API 1104 can you grind on the root pass if it exceeds the 1/16" max allowed for root reinforcement?

As for as my knowledge it is one of the material specification released by API.
all the trims are having equivalent ASTM material specifications.
