 MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-72

This MSS Standard Practice was developed under the consensus of the MSS Technical Committee 401 and the MSS
Coordinating Committee. 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 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
established 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 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 Standard 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, 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 rights 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, that appear in this document are construed as “supplemental”. Note that supplemental
information does not include mandatory requirements.

U.S. customary units in this Standard Practice are the standard; (SI) metric units are for reference only.

Substantive changes identified in the 2010 edition are “flagged” by parallel bars, as shown
on the margins of this paragraph, and included within this 2010a edition. The specific
detail of the change may be determined by comparing the material flagged with that in the
previous edition. Specific changes and corrections between the 2010 and 2010a editions
are indicated in the Forward.

Non-toleranced dimensions in this Standard Practice are nominal unless otherwise specified.

FOREWORD

The 1999 Edition of MSS SP-72 was updated from the 1992 Edition by revising material names in Sections 1.4,
2.1.5., 2.1.6, and 4.1. Metric data (DN) and (PN) was added to Sections 1.3, 3.1.1, 5.2.2.1, 7.1.3, 7.1.4, 7.2.2, 7.2.3,
and Table 1. The formulas in Sections 7.1.4 and 7.2.2 was revised to agree with MSS IS-9 formatting. The reference
to NPS was corrected in all applicable Sections. Annex A listing all referenced standards documents was added.

The 2010 Edition of MSS SP-72 was substantively updated from the 1999 Edition by primarily revising material in
Section 7.2.4. The Pressure Number “PN” reference data was deleted in the 2010 edition (Sections 5.2.2.1, 5.2.2.2,
and 7.1.4) as ASME no longer makes a soft conversion between class designations and PN. In addition, the Annex A
listing of all referenced standards documents has been updated.

This 2010a Edition of MSS SP-72 replaces the 2010 Edition. The 2010a Edition of MSS SP-72 updates the obsolete
2010 Edition by: (1) the re-inclusion (from previous editions) of Section 3.1.2 and the first sentence of Section 5.3.1;
(2) additional descriptive notes were inserted in Sections 7.1.4 and 7.2.2; (3) the equation in Section 7.2.4.3 was
clarified; (4) corrected the definition of “MYS1” in Section 7.1.4 and “AYS2” in Section 7.1.4; (5) corrected the
definition of “AYS5” and “AYS6” in Section 7.2.2; and (6) additional editorial and conforming corrections. The
corrections and changes mentioned in this paragraph are not “flagged” in the body of this text in order to preserve the
substantive changes from the 1999 Edition that were identified in the original 2010 Edition.
