API has developed specifications for V belting in oil-field power transmission applications [12]. Reference 12 is used to carry out detailed design calculations. Although this is an API publication, the specifications contained are consistent with specifications of other industrial groups. The basic calculation techniques above have been carried out for the stock V belts available. These data are tabulated in the API publication to simplify the design effect for V-belt power transmission systems.

Additionally whenever equipment is elevated, which could be source of liquid spillage, long down time for replacement, or supports flare or blowdown headers in a fire exposure risk area, fireproofing of the supports is normally applied. API Publication 2218 provides further guidance on the exact nature of items and conditions that the industry considers prudent for protection.
