‘This MSS Standard Practice was developed under the consensus of the MSS Technical Committee 102, 110,201,
and the MSS Coordinating Committee. The content of this Standard Practice is the result of the efforts of
competent and concerned volunteers to provide an effective, clear, and non-exclusive specification that will
benefit the industry as a whole. This 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 Standard Practice does not in itself
preclude the manufacture, sale, or use of products not conforming to the Standard Practice. Mandatory con-
formance is established only by reference in a code, specification, sales contract, or public law, as applicable.
Substantive changes in the 2001 edition are “flagged” by parallel bars as shown on the margins of this
paragraph. The specific detail of the change may be determined by comparing the material
flagged with that in the previous edition.
Unless otherwise specifically noted in the MSS SP, any standard referred to herein is identified by the date of
issue that was applicable to the referenced standards) at the date of issue of the MSS SP. (See Annex A.)

STANDARD PRACTICE
SPOT FACING
FOR BRONZE, IRON AND STEEL FLANGES
1. SCOPE
This MSS Standard applies to the spot facing
of pipe flanges in bronze, gray iron, ductile iron
or steel when cast integral with valves and fi
tings, as well as the companion flanges, when
so required by the standard for the product.
2. DESIGN
2.1 The dimensions for spot facing apply to the
use of hexagon head bolts or hexagon nuts
in accordance with American National
Standard heavy series, ASME B18.2.land
ASME B18.2.2. For bolt sizes 1/2 and 5/8,
the minimum diameter of spot facing is
sufficient for regular square head bolts in
accordance with ASME B18.2.1
2.2. The minimum spot facing diameters illustrated
in Figure 1 are listed in Table 1 for bolt
sizes 1/2 in, through 3 1/2 in.
2.3 When culting into the hub of companion flanges
or the body of flanged fittings and valves with spot
facing tools is necessary, the resulting wall thick-
‘ness shall not be less than the minimum required thick-
ness specified in the appropriate standard,
2.4 Eccentricity of the spot face diameter with the
bolt hole must be limited to provide sufficient facing
for the bolt head and nut used in the joint assembly
2.5 The bolt sizes for which spot facing is provided
include all the sizes required in the various flange
standards as indicated:
