MSS-SP Valves Certification
MSS-SP Valves Certification
(OP)
Hi All,
I am wondering if anybody can extend his help to me as I am procuring a small size valves up to 2.5" mainly bronze, brass and Ductile/Cast Iron in compliance with the relevant MSS, however, i am requested to ask the manufacturer to provide us with EN 10204 2.2 type of certificates for the following parts:
1. Body 2. Bonnet 3. Trim Components
The vendor / manufacturer has no matter for furnishing such for the body and bonnet while for the Trim components he isnt able and informing that this an API terminology and couldn't be applied onto MSS valves.
Really I am confused whether should I believe the vendor/manufacturer or no?
Thanking for your kind response

MSS standards are what manufacturers agree are commercially reasonable and practical for the types of products and the customers they normally do business with. If a requirement for type 2.2 certificates does not appear in the MSS standard, or in the material standards for the parts used to make the valve, then you are asking for something that is not normal business practice for many manufacturers.

Considering multiple suppliers and multiple material options, how do you give a certificate with "typical results"? This is the reality in the comodity business.
