The content of this Standard Practice is

3、the resulting efforts of competent and experienced volunteers to provide an effective, clear, and non-exclusive standard that will benefit the industry as a whole. This MSS Standard Practice describes minimal requirements and is intended as a basis for common practice by the manufacturer, the user,

4、and the general public. The existence of an MSS Standard Practice does not in itself preclude the manufacture, sale, or use of products not conforming to the Standard Practice. Mandatory conformance to this Standard Practice is established only by reference in other documents such as a code, specifi

5、cation, sales contract, or public law, as applicable. MSS has no power, nor does it undertake, to enforce or certify compliance with this document. Any certification or other statement of compliance with the requirements of this Standard Practice shall not be attributable to MSS and is solely the re

6、sponsibility of the certifier or maker of the statement. “Unless indicated otherwise within this MSS Standard Practice, other standards documents referenced to herein are identified by the date of issue that was applicable to this Standard Practice at the date of approval of this MSS Standard Practi

7、ce (see Annex B). This Standard Practice shall remain silent on the validity of those other standards of prior or subsequent dates of issue even though applicable provisions may not have changed.” By publication of this Standard Practice, no position is taken with respect to the validity of any pote

8、ntial claim(s) or of any patent rights in connection therewith. MSS shall not be held responsible for identifying any patent rights. Users are expressly advised that determination of patent rights and the risk of infringement of such rights are entirely their responsibility. In this Standard Practic

SCOP

15、E This Standard Practice provides minimum guidance for the quality of pressure containing steel castings used in the manufacture of standard class, cast valves compliant with ASME B16.34. It covers castings made by both the sand and investment casting methods. Acceptance standards, which provide for

16、 a minimum quality level for Standard Class cast steel valve castings, are detailed within this document. 2. PURPOSE The purpose of this Standard Practice is to provide guidance for valve manufacturers by describing methods and non-destructive acceptance criteria for non-Special Class, steel valve c

17、astings. Additionally, this Standard Practice provides procedures for developing and qualifying Standard Class pilot castings. 3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS 3.1 Standard Class Casting A valve not requiring additional acceptance criteria for “Limited Class” or “Special Class”. 3.2 Discontinuity A non-unif

18、ormity in the metal. For example, cracks, hot tears, shrinkage, inclusions, or gas porosity. 3.3 Defect An unacceptable discontinuity defined by the requirements of the applicable non-destructive examination (NDE) specification. 3.4 Acceptance Criteria A classification of severity levels for each ty

19、pe and category of discontinuities that are acceptable. 3.5 Severity Level Extent and/or size of the type of discontinuity. 3.6 Critical Area Sections of casting(s) that are subject to high stress, as designated in ASME B16.34. 3.7 Dimensional Inspection Procedure for verification that the actual co

20、ndition of the casting complies with the conditions defined by the engineering drawing or model. 3.8 Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) An inspection method for casting surface and/or sub-surface (volumetric) discontinuities, without impairing its usefulness. The term NDE is also known as non-destruc

21、tive testing (NDT). 3.9 Pilot Casting Foundry product(s) made and examined as part of the initiation and development of the production method. For example, the first casting(s) from a new or modified pattern using the identical foundry practice (i.e., risering, gating, chilling, coring, and molding)

22、 as the production castings it is intended to represent. 3.10 Production Casting Foundry products(s) produced as part of a standard product run using normal production processes, practices, and examinations, as defined by the manufacturer. 3.11 See MSS SP-96 for additional definitions. 4. QUALITY RE

23、QUIREMENTS Foundries and manufacturers producing pressure-containing castings in accordance to this Standard Practice shall have an audited and certified quality control system in accordance with ISO 9001, API Q1, ISO TS 29001, or other applicable internationally recognized standards for quality pro

24、grams. As an alternative, the foundry may be an approved vendor, audited by the valve manufacturer. 5. NON-DESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION 5.1 NDE Personnel Qualification Programs shall be written in accordance with ASNT SNT-TC-1A or ISO 9712. QUALITY STANDARD FOR STEEL CASTINGS USED IN STANDARD CLASS STEEL

25、 VALVES SAMPLING METHOD FOR EVALUATING CASTING QUALITY MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-1472 5.2 Personnel performing NDE shall be qualified in accordance with ASNT SNT-TC-1A or ISO 9712. 5.3 Personnel performing radiographic film interpretation shall have the appropriate reference radiographs available for

26、 use during film evaluation. Photocopies or facsimiles of the reference radiographs are not acceptable. 6. EXTENT OF EXAMINATION 6.1 Casting samples to be evaluated and examined include all pressure-containing components. 6.2 Casting components shall be inspected to assure conformance to all dimensi

27、onal requirements. 7. MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR PILOT CASTINGS 7.1 Definition of a Pilot Casting A casting shall be deemed a pilot casting when one or more of the following events take place: 7.1.1 First use of a new pattern. 7.1.2 A pattern is re-rigged. 7.1.3 A new replacement pattern is created.

28、 7.1.4 A change in processing (i.e., core making, sand control, or melt practice). 7.1.5 A pattern is sent to another foundry or manufacturer (see Section 4). 7.1.6 Upon identification and correction of a recurring defect in a casting released for production and a new casting is produced. 7.2 All pi

29、lot castings shall be examined without weld repairs. 7.3 All accessible external and internal surfaces shall be visually evaluated in accordance with MSS SP-55. 7.4 All accessible external and internal surfaces shall be examined by using the liquid (e.g., dye) penetrant (PT) method, in accordance wi

30、th MSS SP-93. 7.5 All accessible external and internal surfaces of ferrous castings shall be examined by using the magnetic particle (MT) method, in accordance with MSS SP-53. 7.6 Critical areas, as defined by ASME B16.34, shall be radiographically (RT) examined in accordance with MSS SP-54. 7.7 Whe

31、n pilot castings are found to be non-compliant with the requirements of this Standard Practice, as listed in Section 7, corrective actions shall be documented and implemented by the foundry or manufacturer. Additional pilot castings shall then be made to confirm effectiveness of the corrective actio

32、n. 8. REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION CASTINGS 8.1 Each production casting shall have all external and accessible internal areas examined in accordance with the requirements and acceptance criteria of MSS SP-55. 8.2 Production castings shall be subject to a random sampling program as determined by the m

33、anufacturer, at a level appropriate to ensure product compliance and quality. An example of such a sampling plan is detailed in Annex A. 8.2.1 Standard production, pressure containing, casting(s) shall be randomly selected. 8.2.2 The randomly selected casting(s) shall be radiographed and shall meet

34、the radiographic quality levels as listed in Tables 1, 2, and 3 (as applicable), for critical areas specified in ASME B16.34. 8.2.3 Casting(s) that have discontinuities which are not within the levels defined in Tables 1, 2, and 3, are unacceptable for use unless properly repaired in accordance with

35、 the applicable specification(s). The pattern equipment and castings processes used to produce the casting(s) shall be reviewed and corrective action taken. Additional pilot castings shall then be made and tested to confirm the effectiveness of any required corrective action. If a production casting

36、 is found to be unacceptable and corrective actions are taken, the subsequent castings would fall under the definition of “pilot castings” as detailed in Section 7.1 and should not be referred to as “production castings”.
