2、dardsmss-hq.org www.mss-hq.org MSSMSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-96i This MSS Standard Practice was developed under the consensus of the MSS Technical Committee 302 and the MSS Coordinating Committee. In addition, this Standard Practice was approved by an ANSI/MSS Consensus Committee and ANSI as an Americ

3、an National Standard. The content of this Standard Practice is 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

4、 as a basis for common practice by the manufacturer, the user, 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 establish

5、ed only by reference in other documents such as a code, specification, 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

6、 Practice shall not be attributable to MSS and is solely the responsibility 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 Standa

7、rd Practice at the date of approval of this MSS Standard Practice (see Annex A). 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

8、, no position is taken with respect to the validity of any potential 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 rig

9、hts are entirely their responsibility. In this Standard Practice, all text, notes, annexes, tables, figures, and references are construed to be essential to the understanding of the message of the standard, and are considered normative unless indicated as “supplemental”. All appendices, if included,

10、 that appear in this document are construed as “supplemental”. Note that supplemental information does not include mandatory requirements. This Standard Practice has been substantively revised from the previous 2001 (R 2005) edition. It is suggested that if the user is interested in knowing what cha

11、nges have been made, that a direct page by page comparison should be made of this document and that of the previous edition. Excerpts of this Standard Practice may be quoted with permission.

MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-96ii FOREWORD Valves and fittings were being manufactured in the United States for many years before the first standards were writte

15、n. In selecting names for these products and their component parts, manufacturers chose terms which seemed appropriate to the configuration and intended use. Uses expanded and changed, and manufacturers sometimes found that logical choices of terminology had been preempted by other products. The res

16、ult has been that valves, fittings, and parts of similar configuration or intended use sometimes have more than one name. In other cases, the same name has been applied to assemblies or parts of different configuration and function. The absence of a common statement of preferred terms has contribute

17、d to the variations of terms used by individual manufacturers. This Standard Practice has been developed to serve two functions: 1) To assist the users of valves and fittings in communicating with their manufacturers. 2) To promote standardization in the usage of terms within the industry. This Stan

18、dard Practice provides definitions of the preferred items, and provides cross referencing to the appropriate preferred terms for other commonly used terminology. It is subject to the periodic review procedure common to standards. This 2011 American National Standard edition, ANSI-approved and publis

19、hed in 2014, is substantively consistent with the currently available 2011 MSS edition and will utilize this 2011 year in its nomenclature. Substantive revisions will be applied to the next edition, with a goal of having one unified and consistent ANSI/MSS Standard Practice. MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP
