Welcome back to everything valves. The channel dedicated to brining you everything valves. Thank to everyone supporting this channel. If you enjoy this video please like and subscribe.


API 6A wellhead and Christmas tree equipment is a very complicated specification. The spec covers a wide variety of equipment. I will specifically cover the valve portion of the spec. There are 3 different PSL levels listed in the spec. I will show you an overview of each.


The specification gives pretty straight forward requirements when it comes to pressure, number of test and holding times. In this video I broke down each PSL in to 3 categories.


I hope this gives you a better understanding of each different PSL. I may show you how the test is performed on an actual valve in a future video. If you feel unsure if the information is correct. Please check the spec and make the determination for yourself. However, I can tell you it is correct. If you have any questions or concerns drop a comment down below and I will do my best to help.
