SCOPE 2.3. Markings indicating conformance with Copyright by the Monocle Sol ug 21'1008:57 200¢ 1.1 This marking system applies to valves, fittings, flanges, and unions used in piping connections which include (but are not Timited to) flanged, soldered, brazed, threaded, or welded joints. 1.2 These specified markings serve to iden- tify the manufacturer, the rating designation, materials of construction and special service limitations imposed by the manufacturer. They are used for product identification and to assist in proper application. GENERAL MARKING REQUIREMENTS, 2.1 Bach product of a size and shape per- mitting legible marking shall be marked in accordance with the provisions of this Stan- dard Practice. 2.2 Markings shall be applied to the body of ‘Valves, fittings and the nut of onions or on an identification plate. For quarter turn valves, ‘markings shall be applied to the body, identifi- cation plate, or handle. Markings on covered quarter turn valve handles do not need to be integral with the base handle material. ‘The markings shall consist of numerals, letters, or symbols cast, forged, stamped, or otherwise ‘made integral with the product; or markings on an identification plate attached to the product; or both. Where stamping is used on pressure containing walls, low stress stamps which pro- duce a round bottom impression shall be used; such low stress stamps are not required on flanged edges or on raised pads provided for smarking purposes. Markings obliterated during manufacturing of steel products may be replaced by weld deposi- tion or welded plates when permitted, or stamp- ing, at the option of the manufacture. es Slandardizalion Socily Ot The Vave Ad Filings Indy Inc recognized documents such as ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Codes, API, Factory Mutual, and Underwriters Laboratories may be applied only by authorized, licensed, or approved ‘manufacturers. Such markings shall be applied only to products fully conforming to the code qualification requirements, and may be shown on the body or an attached plate, at the option of the manufacturer. 2.4. Manufacturers may apply markings indi- cating conformance with codes and standards such as ANSI, ASME, MSS, AWWA, for example, on products which fully conform, to the standards, Such markings may be shown, con the body of on an attached plate. 2.5 Nothing in this Standard Practice shall be ‘construed as prohibiting the use of addi- tional markings such as “Made in U.S.A.”, catalog reference numbers, pattern numbers, patent numbers, dates, customer specification numbers, etc. Product markings indicating special designs, particular requirements, or specific limitations, should also carry addi- tional special marking to distinguish them from regularly available standard products. All additional markings shall be applied in such a manner as to avoid confusion with standard markings. 2.6 Flow direction indication shall be marked ‘on unidirectional valves. Commonly used ‘markings include arrows, or the words “inlet” cor “outlet” or high pressure side marked at an appropriate end. “MANUFACTURER'S NAME OR TRADEMARK All products within the scope of this Stan- dard shall be marked with the Manufac- turer's name, trademark, or symbol, unless size or shape do not permit. STD-MSS SP-25-ENGL 1998 mM 5770640 0502031 559 mm STANDARD PRACTICE SP-25 RATING DESIGNATION 4.1 The expression “Rating Designation” includes the intent of the expressions “Pres- sure Designation”, “Service Designation”, “Pressure Class”, and similar terms used to de- fine the pressure/fuid/materials temperature limitation of the product. The Rating Desig- nation shall be shown by one of the systems in the paragraphs that follow. 4.1.1 ‘The Rating Designation for products may be designated by the class numbers alone, eg, a steam pressure rating or a pressure class designation. Pressure Rating Values may be abbreviated by using “M" to designate units of one thousand (for example, 3M in place of 3000). 4.1.2. The Rating Designation for products which conform to recognized standards, but are not suitable for the full range of pressures or temperatures of those standards may be marked as prescribed in Subsection 4.1.1 as appropriate and shall also show the numbers and letters representing the pressure rating at the limiting condition. NOTES: 4.1.3. Tho Rating Designation for products which do not conform to recognized national product standards may be shown by numbers. and letters representing the pressure ratings at maximum and minimum temperatures. If desired, the rating designation may be shown as the maximum pressure followed by “CWP” and the allowed pressure at the maxi ‘mum temperature (for example, 2000 CWP 725/925 F). Products intended for ambient room temperature may show the allowable pressure followed by letters CWP or equiv- alent (see note @)), 4.2_ For applications where marking in metric of ST notations required, the units of preference will be bar or kilopascals (kPa) of gauge pressure and degrees Celsius. Numbers desig- nating pressure will be followed by the term, “bar or KPa”, and temperature designation by the letter, “C*. Conversion, of direct values is permitted (see note), but conversion of ANSI classes to “metric equivalents” should not be attempted. 4.3 Products made to attach to specific pipe may be marked with the appropriate pipe schedule number or pipe wall designation. owe (cout Working Pessre) isthe mackoun pressore rating slowed wader norm “ambient” temperature conditions, which are wily understood to be 20°F to 100°F (29°C to 38°C).

MATERIAL DESIGNATION 5.1 Products made of conforming materials shall be marked in accordance with ASTM, ASME, or other recognized materials speci- fications, as described in the Product Marking sections which follow. In a composite struc- ture made of several materials, the material which must be marked is the one which is most important to its pressure-temperature rating, Products may be marked instead with proprietary materials designations, provided confusion is avoided with nationally recog- nized material standards symbols, and provided ‘confusion is avoided with other sections of this Standard Practice. 5.2. Products made of one material and lined with another shall carry the regular markings specified by this Standard Practice and additional markings which indicate that the product is lined and state the material used for lining. 5.3. Material markings are not required on ASTM B 61, B 62 and B 584 alloys, C 83800 TABLE | and C 84400, cast copper alloy threaded or solder-joint fittings, flanges, unions, valves, or ‘on wrought copper solder-joint products. 5.4. Material marking is not required for gray iron, except as shown in subsection 12.2. Alloyed gray iron may be identified by 2 ‘manufacturer's symbol provided that confusion with standard symbols is avoided. 5.5. The symbols for metals shown in Table 1 are in common use and may be used as standard references for marking nameplates and bodies. Non-ferrous body materials may be marked with the symbols shown. Products ‘with steel bodies shall be marked with the ASTM specification grade identification symbol. Other symbols including manufac- turet’s tradenames and material codes are permitted if confusion is avoided with stan- dard symbols. 5.6 The non metallic symbols, shown in Table 2, are typical. The use of specific names and ‘tradenames is also permitted if confusion is avoided with standard symbols. For valves trimmed with composite construction ele- ments, the dominant functional material should be named. COMMON SYMBOLS FOR METALLIC MATERIALS AL BRS ‘Aluminum, Brass Bronze...
