 MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-51

This MSS Standard Practice was developed under the consensus of the MSS Technical Committee 110 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
manufacture, 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.

Substantive changes in this 2007 edition are “flagged” by parallel bars as

shown on the margins of this paragraph. The specific details of the changes
may be determined by comparing the material flagged with that in the
previous edition.

The metric (SI) units and U.S. customary units in this SP are regarded separately as the
standard; each should be used independently of the other. Combining or converting values
between the two systems may result in nonconformance with this SP.

 MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-51

FOREWORD

The subject matter of this Standard Practice was formerly a part of MSS SP-42, Corrosion Resistant Cast
Flanged Valves, Flanges and Flanged Fittings. MSS SP-42 now covers valves only.

The 1978 revision of this Standard Practice was delayed beyond the normal review interval in consideration of
extensive revisions being developed for SP-42. Following publication of the rewritten SP-42 1978, in which the
flange thickness for most sizes were made the same as those in ANSI B16.5 Class 150, it was determined that a
commercial need remained for flanges and flanged fittings of reduced weight, and that this standard should
continue to serve that need. The committee decided, however, that pressure-temperature ratings should be
reduced to limit pressure stresses to levels consistent with those applied in ANSI B16.5 Class 150 flanges. While
pressure stresses are generally less significant than bolting and piping stresses in these flanges, the new ratings,
in combination with the gasket selection recommended herein, serve to limit the assembly bolting loads required.
It is intended that the reduction in ratings should substantially reduce the likelihood of misapplication of these
flanges and fittings.

The 1982 and 1986 revisions of this Standard Practice were required to update the referenced standards list in
Section 2.

The 1991 revision of this Standard Practice was required to update the referenced standards list and delete the
metric equivalents.

The 1995 reaffirmed edition of this Standard Practice was required to update the referenced standards list and
reaffirm the document.

The 2000 revision of this Standard Practice was required to incorporate standard metric dimensions, include
forged and plate materials for flanges, and update referenced standards.

The 2003 revision of this Standard Practice was made to incorporate larger sizes of flanges and fittings (NPS 14,
16, 18, 20, and 24) to accommodate the needs of the user community.
The 2007 revision of this Standard Practice was made to correct some dimensions and to update the referenced
standards.

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) Dimensions in inches.
(b) Side outlet elbows have all openings on intersecting center lines.
(c) Reducing fittings have same center-to-face and face-to-face dimensions as straight size fittings corresponding to
the size of the largest opening.
(d) Reducers and eccentric reducers for all reductions have same face-to-face dimensions as listed in the Table for
the larger opening.
(e) Class 150LW corrosion resistant fittings in NPS 1 and larger have center-to-face dimensions, flange diameters
and drilling templates, NPS 1/2 and larger, correspond to those specified in ASME B16.5, Class 150.
(f) See Table 5 for bolt hole requirements.
(g) Flange dimensions to be in accordance with Table 5.

In designating the outlets of reducing fittings the openings should be read in the order indicated by the sequence
of the letters, a, b, c, and d. In designating the outlets of side outlet reducing fittings, the side outlet is named
last, and in the case of the side outlet cross (which is not shown), the side outlet is designated by the letter "o."
