An 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 StandardPracticedoes not in itself preclude the manufacture,sale, or use of products not

conforming to the Standard Practice. Mandatory conforniance is established oniy by reference in a code, specification,
sales contract, or public law, as applicable.

i s document has been substantivelyrevised from the previous 1995 edition. It is suggestedthat if the user is interested
in knowing what changes have been made, that direct page by page comparison should be made of this document

other standards referred to herein are identined by the date of issue that was applicable to this standard at the
date of issue of this standard.See Annex A. This standard shall remain silent on the applicability of those other
standards of prior or subsequent dates of issue even though provisions of concern may not have changed. References contained herein which are bibliographic in nature are noted as supplementalin the text.
