    This document provides an overview of API 6A, which sets requirements for wellhead and Christmas tree equipment. It outlines product specification levels, performance requirements, material classes, temperature classes, working pressures, quality control requirements, documentation requirements, and performance verification tests. It also discusses how to determine the appropriate equipment specifications when preparing a quote, including needing details on the valve size, pressure class, material class, etc. to properly size an actuator and determine pricing.
