[susanta kumar ghadai]

I read API6A code but i confused in PR Requirements,
Qustion-1: How we can decide which product belong to which PR ?
Qustion-2: How a Product differ from PR1 and PR2

Please Help me out to solve this problem.

Hi!

This topic is very confusing, but I will try:

You cannot just read API6A, for full compliance you should also read API 17D

It is your own product definition that determines which tests are relevnat (e.g. valve, other end connector etc.) some of the tests will overlap

Look in API 17D, table 3 for your product definition. Then take a look in API 6A for the same product definition. All of those tests will be required for you to say that your equipment is validated.

Q1: How we can decide which product belong to which PR?

You decide, or maybe your client has decided for you

Q2: How a Product differ from PR1 and PR2

The difference is the amount of testing, but note that PR2F is testing according to annex F

Regards
Siggi
