published as advisory standards and are widely followed. A large number of MSS Practices have been approved by the ANSI
& ANSI/ASME Standards published by others. In order to maintain a single source of authoritative information, the MSS
withdraws those Standard Practices in such cases. The most common MSS-SP standards referred for piping are:
