About API 8C

API Specification 8C is a standard that provides requirements for the design, manufacture, and testing of hoisting equipment suitable for use in drilling and production operations.

This standard establishes two product specification level (PSL) requirements, PSL 1 and PSL 2. These PSL designations serve to define separate levels of technical requirements for parts.

All requirements set forth are applicable only to PSL 1 unless they are identified as being PSL 2. Requirements for PSL 2 include all standards for PSL 1 as well as additional practices outlined for PSL 2. Additional and supplementary requirements are only required where specifically stated.

Elevator Links

Tubing and Drill Pipe Elevators

Casing Elevators

Square Shoulder Type A Elevators

Spiders (if they can be used as elevators)

Sucker Rod Elevators
