5 MARKING
5.1 General Requirements
5.1.1 The requirements of marking and its methods shall be in accordance with the individual applicable
codes, standards and specifications. MSS-SP25 is a mandatory requirement to Valves, Fittings,
Flanges, and Unions.
5.1.2 Marking shall not be easily erasable, and shall be clearly indicated. The method shall be either
low-stress stamping, dot-stamping, stenciling, pressing, or cast moulding as per applicable code,
standard, and requisition; with the following limitations:
 Low-stress stamping shall be round nosed with a radius of 0.25 mm minimum.
If it is physically impossible to apply the specified marking method such as stenciling etc. because of
limited room, durable and securely affixed stainless steel tag plate is acceptable subject to
Purchaser’s approval.
Galvanized or other plated wire is not acceptable to prevent contamination in any case.
5.1.3 The minimum wall thickness shall be maintained after any marking.
5.1.4 The following information shall be marked, as a minimum.
 Nominal Size (NPS)
 Wall Thickness (schedule number or specified thickness) (*1) (*2)
 Rating (*1)
 Material Designation such as ASTM A106-B
 Manufacturer’s Name or Trademark
 Manufacturing Number or Heat Number
Note (*1): This information shall be marked when it is designated in the Purchaser’s material
description on purchase orders.
Note (*2): Wall thickness indication on documents, tags, and products shall be same as those
written in purchase orders. For example:
− if “NPS2 Sch40” is written in a purchase order, the thickness indication
shall be “Sch40”. “STD” instead of “Sch40” is not acceptable even through the
thickness value is equal.
− if “12.7mm” is written in a purchase order, the thickness indication shall be
“12.7mm”. “0.5inch” instead of “12.7mm” is not acceptable even through the
thickness value is equal.
5.2 Valves
All valves shall have stainless steel tag plate securely attached directly on the body. Purchaser’s
Project Symbol shall be indicated on the tag plate by stamping. Tag plates not attached directly on
body, e.g. using stainless steel wire/ chain, are not acceptable unless approved by Purchaser.

5.3 Forged Steel Fittings

Weldolets are identified using branch size, run size, branch wall thickness (WT, hereafter), and run
WT in purchase orders. Sockolets and Threadolets are identified using branch size, run size, and
rating in purchase orders. Run pipe size range is not shown in purchase orders for sockolets and
threadlets.
Examples of purchase order:
Item 7111: NPS2 x NPS12 Sch20 X STD Weldolet A105 MSS-SP97......
Item 7211: NPS1 x NPS18 Sockolet A105 Class 6000 B16.11 ......
Item 7211: NPS1 x NPS12 Threadlet A105 Class 3000 B16.11 ......
Vendor shall categorize each olet (weldolet, sockolet, and threadolet) into his standard range, or taller
made if necessary. Vendor standard range of weldolets shall have branch size, run size range, branch
WT, and run WT.
Vendor standard range of sockolets and threadolets shall have branch size, run size range, and
rating.

5.3.1 Size and Wall Thickness Marking on Weldolets

NPS2 and larger weldolets shall have double marking on products. For example, if "2 x 14 sch40 x
sch20" is specified in a purchase order, then the products shall have double marking "2 x14-36
STD/STD (2 x 14 sch40 x sch20)", i.e. vendor’s standard marking like "2 x14-36 STD/STD" plus those
specified in the purchase order. The vendor standard marking shall have run size range so that
interchangeability at construction site can be maintained.
NPS1-1/2 and smaller weldolets shall have vendor standard marking like "3/4 x14-36 XS/STD" only.
However, a tag shall be tied to each weldolet with stainless steel wire. The tag tied to each weldolet
shall have branch size, run size, branch WT, and run WT identified by purchase orders, as a minimum.
Galvanized or other plated wire is not acceptable to prevent contamination. In addition, these
weldolets shall be packed in bags per every branch size, run size, branch WT, and run WT identified
by purchase orders. All bags shall have a label reporting branch size, run size, branch WT, and run
WT identified by purchase orders plus item number, commodity code, or any other code mentioned in
purchase orders.
If a weldolet does not fall into any of vendor standard range, then vendor proceeds with a "tailor made"
product with marking as per purchase order. This is common for all sizes.
5.3.2 Size and Rating Marking on Sockolets and Threadolets
All sizes of sockolets and threadolets shall have vendor standard marking only, e.g. "1 x 6-36 CL3000".
Tags in the bag are not required.
