Standard Practice
Developed and Approved by the

--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
This MSS Standard Practice was developed under the consensus of the MSS Technical Committee 203 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.
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.)
U.S. customary units in this SP are the standard; the metric units are for reference only.

ANNEX A
STRENGTH OF SOLDER JOINTS
This Annex is an integral part of this Standard Practice and is placed after the main text for convenience.
The maximum recommended pressure-temperature limitations for solder joints made with copper tube and cast
copper alloy fittings, using representative commercial solders, are listed in the table below.
NOTE: For working temperatures, in the 0°F to -20°F range, it is recommended that a joint material melting at
or above 1000°F be employed. (c)
CAUTION: When solder joint valves are used, the rating will be the lowest value of Table 1 (Table X1-1) or Table
A1 (Table X1-2). Also refer to Section 2.4.

copper alloy fittings, using representative commercial solders, are listed below.
Note: For working temperatures, in the -18°C to -29°C range, it is recommended that a joint material melting
at or above 538°C be employed. (c)
CAUTION: When solder joint valves are used, these ratings will be the lowest value of Table XI-1 or
Table X1-2. Also refer to Section 2.4.
