API is the abbreviation of American Petroleum Institute, that is, American Petroleum Institute. API was founded in 1919. The organization is based on the characteristics of the industry and its own needs in the industry. In 1924, API specifications were formulated to guide the production of related products in the petroleum industry. Because the API specifications formulated by the API organization are advanced, universal, safe, and the influence of the U.S. oil industry in the world continues to expand, the API specifications have been widely used by countries around the world. Therefore, the API organization, originally an academic organization in the US oil industry, has evolved into an authoritative academic organization in the oil industry across national boundaries.
