MANUFACTURERS STANDARDIZATION SOCIETY OF THE VALVE AND FITTINGS INDUSTRY

Here we go again with Piping & Fabrication, and I know I've been very busy this week and in couple days I almost can't to post this blog, but today I will try to post this blog because I just want to keep share the knowledge about Piping System, and here we are with:

MANUFACTURERS STANDARDIZATION SOCIETY OF THE VALVE AND FITTINGS INDUSTRY
The Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) publishes Standard Practices (SP) which provide a basis for common practice by the manufacturers, the user, and the general public. Compliance to the Standard Practices of MSS is required by reference in a code, specification, sales contract, law, or regulation. The MSS is also represented on the committees of other standardization groups, such as ANSI and ASME. Many of the ASME B16 series standards were originally developed as MSS Standard Practices. Once a Standard Practice is adopted as ANSI standard, it is discontinued as an MSS Standard Practice.

The following is a complete list of MSS Standard Practices published and in current use:
