MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-98
This MSS Standard Practice was developed under the consensus of MSS Technical Committees 112 and the
MSS Coordinating Committee. The content of this Standard Practice is the resulting efforts of competent and
experienced volunteers to provide an effective, clear, and non-exclusive standard that will benefit the industry
as a whole. This MSS Standard Practice describes minimal requirements and 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 to this Standard Practice is established only by reference in other documents such as a
code, specification, sales contract, or public law, as applicable. MSS has no power, nor does it undertake, to
enforce or certify compliance with this document. Any certification or other statement of compliance with the
requirements of this Standard Practice shall not be attributable to MSS and is solely the responsibility of the
certifier or maker of the statement.
"Unless otherwise specifically noted in this MSS Standard Practice, other standards documents
referred to herein are identified by the date of issue that was applicable to this Standard Practice
at the date of issue of this Standard Practice (see Annex B). This Standard Practice shall remain
silent on the applicability of those other standards of prior or subsequent dates of issue even
though applicable provisions may not have changed.”
By publication of this Standard Practice, no position is taken with respect to the validity of any potential
claim(s) or of any patent rights in connection therewith. MSS shall not be held responsible for identifying any
patent rights. Users are expressly advised that determination of patent rights and the risk of infringement of
such rights are entirely their responsibility.
In this Standard Practice, all text, notes, annexes, tables, figures, and references are construed to be essential to
the understanding of the message of the standard, and are considered normative unless indicated as
“supplemental”. All appendices, if included, that appear in this document are construed as “supplemental”.
Note that supplemental information does not include mandatory requirements.
U.S. customary units in this Standard Practice are the standard; the SI (metric) units are for reference only.
This Standard Practice has been substantially revised from the previous 2001 (R 2005) edition.
It is suggested that if the user is interested in knowing what changes have been made, that
direct page by page comparison should be made of this document.
Non-toleranced dimensions in the Standard Practice are nominal, and, unless otherwise specified, shall be
considered "for reference only".

Annex A
Holiday Testing Equipment
A.1 Testing Equipment Testing equipment used is dependent on the thickness of the coating. The
manufacturer’s specified coating thickness should be used to determine the type of test equipment
used.
A1.1 The following equipment shall be used to conduct the holiday test on coatings with a specified
thickness of 20 mils of less.
a. A low voltage detector tester having an electrical source of 67.5 volts DC that meets the
requirements of ASTM G62, Section 1.2, Method A. A detector tester with an electrical source
of 22.5 volts DC to 80 volts DC may be used if agreed upon with the purchaser.
b. A cellulous sponge with an insulating handle electrically connected to the positive electrode of
the tester.
c. A grounding clamp or magnet electrically connected to the negative (ground) terminal of the
tester.
d. A source of distilled water to saturate the sponge.
e. An 80,000 ohm, 1/2 watt resistor for checking proper audio indication. This test resistor may
be built into some models of detector testers.
A1.2 The following equipment shall be used to conduct the holiday test on coatings with a specified
thickness greater than 20 mils.
a. A voltage detector tester having an electrical source of 500 volts DC to 10,000 volts DC that
meets the requirements of ASTM G62, Section 1.2, Method B.
b. A wand with an insulating handle and a tip consisting of several steel wires electrically
connected to the positive electrode of the tester.
c. A grounding clamp or magnet electrically connected to the negative (ground) terminal of the
tester.
A1.3 Other holiday testing equipment may be used if agreed upon with the purchaser.
