0 This MSS Standard Practice was developed under the consensus of the MSS Technical Committee 105 and the
MSS Coordinating Committee. The content of this Standard Practice is the result of the.efforts of competent and
concerned volunteers to provide an effective, clear, and non-exclusive specification that will benefit the industry
as a whole. This MSS Standard Practice 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 manufac-
ture, sale, or use of products not conforming to the Standard Practice. Mandatory conformance is established
only by reference in a code, specification, sales contract, or public law, as applicable.
U.S. customary units in this SP are the standard; the metric units are for reference only.
Non-toleranced dimensions in this Standard Practice are nominal, and, unless otherwise
specified, shall be considered “for reference only”.
Unless otherwise specifically noted in this MSS SP, any standard referred to herein is
identified by the date of issue that was applicable to the referenced standard(s) at the
date of issue of this MSS SP. (See Annex C).
