This MSS Standard Pracîice was developed under the consensus of the MSS Technical Committee 403
and the MSS Coordinating Commiüee. The content of this Standard Practice is the resuit of the efforts
of competent and concerned volunteers to provide an effective, clear, and nonexclusive 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 Staudard
Pracîice does not in itself preclude the mandacture, sale, or use of products not conforming to the
Sîandard hctice. Maadatoxy conformance is established only by reference in a code, spectfication,
sales contract, or public law, as applicable.

FOREWORD

This standard was developed by a cooperative effort of representatives of the pipe hanger manufacturers. It is based
on the best practice current at this time and on the collective experience of the industry. There y e three companion
standards-MSS SP-69 and MSS SP-89 relate to hanger and support fabrication, selection, application, and
installation; MSS SP-127 relates to the design, selection, and application of bracing for piping systems subject to
seismic - wind - dynamic loading. In addition, the MSS Hanger Committee has developed guidelines for pipe
supports contractual relationships and on hanger terminology as covered in MSS SP-77 and MSS SP-90
respectively.

one-half (1/2) the maximum thickness of material in inches at the weld, but in no case shall the rate
exceed 600°F per hour.
c. For Table A4- Above 3 15°C the approximaterate of heating and cooling shall not exceed 3 15°C per
hour divided by 0.02 times the maximum thickness of material in m at the weld, but in no case shall
the rate exceed 315°C per hour.

5. Base material size refers to the thickness at the weld of thicker part being joined.
6. Hold Time Requirements:
a. For Table 4- Hold time SW be one (1) hour/ in. up to 2” thick with meen (15) minutes minimum.
For 2” and over; two (2) hours plus fifteen (15) minutes for each inch over 2”.
b. For Table A4- Hold time shali be one (1) hour/ 25mm up to 50- thick with nfteen (15) minutes
minimum. For 50mm and over, two (2) hours plus fifteen (15) minutes for each 25mm over 50mm.

7. Post weld heat treatment of stainless steel is neither required nor prohibited (Notes 2 and 3).

8. These tables, which cover materials commoniy used in the manufacture of pipe hangers and supports,
have been consolidated from ASME B31.1-1998 edition.

9. PWHT is not mandatory for P-4 & P-5A material when welds comply with all the following conditions :
a. Nominal pipe size is N P S 4 or less.
b. Nominal materiai thickness is %” (13’m)or less.
c. Specified carbon content of material to be welded is O. 15%or less.
d. A minimumpreheat of 250°F (120°C) is maintained for P-4 material during welding.
e. A minimum preheat of 300°F (150°C) is maintained for P-5A material during welding.
