Hello
What type of products will you be manufacturing PER API-6A?
Just gate valves, or will you also make API-6A flanges, connections, chokes, tees, crosses, crossovers, actuators, other end connections, etc.
If you have API's composite list you will see all of the equipment 6A covers. You will need a design file for each product you want to monogram.
Requirements of a design file.
Design and Development planning
Customer requirements
Technical interface
Customer acceptance doc
Manufacture’s acknowledgement
Design input
Equipment spec sheet
Applicable requirement
Design Output
Equipment parts reviewed
Material spec's
Welding WPS
Test procedures
Design Calculations
Design Verification
Approved by other then person designing product
Check list showing what guidelines you used, API/ASME/PED etc.
Design Validation
Data book, MTR's, NDE, Nace requirements, dim reports, etc.
Pressure functional testing reports.
I have done Design files for API-6A/16A/16C/17D/DNV/ABS/CE Marking (techfile), etc. Been working in the Oilfield for over 13 years as a Design Engineer. The cost of a design file (depending on if you have designs or not) can be from (US) $300 to $2000.
Thanks
