| Class | Surface quality | Typical use | |-------|----------------|--------------| | I | Highest – no visible porosity/shrinkage | High‑pressure, corrosive, or fatigue service | | II | Minor, widely scattered porosity | General industrial valves & fittings | | III | Moderate, localized porosity | Non‑critical, low‑stress components | | IV | Gross defects – reject | Unacceptable for any pressure‑containing part | This appears to be a request to draft

are almost never acceptable because they represent actual fractures in the metal. The "Grey" Areas : Categories like Type III (Sand Inclusions) Type IV (Gas Porosity) Type XII (Surface Roughness)
The primary goal of MSS SP-55 is to provide a standardized, visual method to determine whether a casting’s surface is acceptable for use in critical piping systems. Reference Photographs
