My team and I use MSS-SP-25 in our daily inspections for castings and today I’ve noticed a the 2018 version has a few updates compared to the version that we use. I plan to share with the team later this week.
The ANSI/MSS-SP-25-2018 provides a structured framework for:
1. Product Identification: The standard’s marking system allows QC inspectors to easily identify the manufacturer, materials of construction, and specific product details. This information is critical for verifying that components meet the required specifications.
2. Traceability: The clarity and consistency in markings ensure that each component can be traced back to its source. This is vital for accountability, recalls, and maintaining a record of product history.
3. Material Verification: With updated material examples and designations, QC inspectors can accurately verify the materials used in the assembly process, ensuring compliance with industry standards and customer requirements.
4. Temperature Considerations: The new section on temperature-related rating designations allows inspectors to account for variations in product performance under different temperature conditions but I’ve yet to encounter units with this specific requirement.
Sidelining ANSI/MSS-SP-25-2018 could have severe consequences for our control valve assembly factory:
1. Quality Compromise: Without the structured system provided by the standard, the quality of control valve assemblies may deteriorate, leading to performance issues and potentially catastrophic failures.
2. Non-Compliance and Liability: Neglecting the standard can result in non-compliance with industry regulations and customer requirements, potentially exposing the factory to legal and liability issues.
3. Operational Inefficiencies: Lack of clarity and consistency in product markings can lead to operational inefficiencies, including delays in QC inspection, difficulty in product identification, and errors in assembly.
4. Loss of Reputation: The factory’s reputation for delivering high-quality, reliable products could be damaged, leading to a loss of trust among customers and business partners.

Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but
I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any tips or suggestions? With thanks
Antonetta, you can start by renting your own URL of choice. Then setup using wordpress.
