MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-58
FOREWORD
This Standard Practice was developed by a cooperative effort of representatives of the pipe hanger
manufacturers. it is based on the best practice current at this time and on the collective experience of the
industry. There is a companion Standard Practice, MSS SP- 127, which relates to the design, selection, and
application ofbracing for piping systems subject to seismic - wind - dynamic loading.

TABLES 7 and 7M
Preheat and Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) Requirements (continued)
NOTES:
a. When joining carbon steel and alloy steel by welding, the higher preheat and PWHT temperatures
of the two materials shall apply.
b. When joining stainless steel to either carbon steel or all oy steel, caution shall be exercised as the
stainless steel material may not be suited for the preheat or PWHT temperatures required by the
other materials.
c. When carbide solution heat treatment of stainless steel is required by the design specification, heat
treatment shall be in accordance with ASTM A 403, Seetion 6.
d. PWHT Requirements:
1. PWHT may be by full fumace heat treatment or by local heating. When local heating is used,
the width of the heated band shall be at least three (3) times the thickness of the thickest
seetion at the joint.
2. For Table 7- Above 600°F the rate ofheating and cooling shall not exceed 600°F per ho ur
divided by one-half (1/2) the maximum thickness of material in inehes at the weld, but in no
case shall the rate exceed 600°F per hour.
3. For Table 7M- Above 31SoC the approximate rate ofheating and cooling shall not exceed
31SOC per hour divided by 0.02 times the maximum thickness of material in mm at the weld,
but in no case shall the rate exceed 31SoC per ho ur.
e. Base material size refers to the thickness at the weld ofthicker part beingjoined.
f. Hold Time Requirements:

1. For Table 7- Hold time shall be one (1) hourl in. up to 2" thick with fifteen (1S) minutes
minimum. For 2" and over; two (2) hours plus fifteen (1S) minutes for each inch over 2".
2. For Table 7M- Hold time shall be one (1) hourl 2Smm up to SOmm thick with fifteen (1S)
minutes minimum. For SOmm and over; two (2) hours plus fifteen (1S) minutes for each
2Smm over SOmm.
g. Post weld heat treatment of stainless steel is neither required nor prohibited (Notes 2 and 3).
h. These tables, which cover materials commonly used in the manufacture of pipe hangers and
supports, have been consolidated from ASME B31.1.
i. PWHT is not mandatory for P-4 & P-SA material when welds comply with all the following
conditions:

NOTES:
a. Hangers on insulated systems shall incorporate protection saddles, shields, pipe clamps or welded lugs which project through the insulation
to provide extemal attachment. (See Seetion 5.5)
b. The selection oftype and material shall be made by the Piping Design Engineer.
c. The design shall be in accordance with this Standard Practice or as specified by the Piping Design Engineer.
d. For shields used with rollers or subject to point loading, see Table A3.
e. Continuous inserts, embedded plates, anehor bolts and concrete fasteners may be use d as specified by the Piping Design Engineer.
f The need to maintain avapor barrier may be required because of ambient dew point considerations.

Condiıions: A=Annea/ed, N=Normaltzed, DNT=Doub/e Normaltzed and Tempered, QT=Quenched and Tempered, HT=Heat Treated
NOTES:
a. Allowable stresses for these materials are based up on those of comparable materials of similar chemical properties,
b. For temperatures above lOOO°F, these stress values apply only when the carbon content is 0.04% or higher based on heat analysis.
c. For temperatures above ıoOO°F, these stress values may be use d only if the material is heat treated by treating it to a minimum
temperature of 1900°F and quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other means.
d. Derived from Class i.
e. Derived from Type B.
f. Age hardened at 1075°F.
g. For temperatures above 850°F, these stress values apply only when the carbon content is 0.05% or higher based on heat analysis.
h. For bolt diameters i inch and less.
i. For bolt diameters greater than i inch through i 1/2 inch.
j. For bolt diameters 2 1/2 inch and less.
k. For bo lt diameters greater than 2 1/2 inch through 4 inch.
1. For diameters greater than 4 inch.
m. For bolt diameters greater than i 1/2 inch through 3 inch.
n. For material thickness 3 inch and less.
o. For material thickness greater than 3 inch.
p. For sizes 4 inch and less.
