design pressure means the maximum pressure that a pressure vessel or plant is designed to withstand safety when operating normally;
design pressure means the hydrostatic pressure for which each structure or appliance assumed watertight in the intact and damage stability calculations is designed to withstand.
design pressure means the maximum working pressure which is expected under operation conditions or the highest set pressure of any safety valve or pressure relief device on the system, if fitted.
More Definitions of design pressure
design pressure means the pressure used in the design of equipment, a container, or a vessel for the purpose of determining the minimum permissible thickness or physical characteristics of its different parts. Where applicable, static head shall be included in the design pressure to determine the thickness of any specific part;
design pressure means the pressure used in the design of a boiler or pressure vessel for the purpose of determining the minimum permissible thickness or physical characteristics (e.g., material properties) of different parts of the vessel, in accordance with design standards of the ASME Code.
design pressure means the pressure which a part of a gas system has been designed and constructed safely to withstand;
design pressure means the gauge pressure used in the design formulae to determine the dimensions of the component parts of the pressure equipment;
design pressure means the ‘‘MAWP’’ as used in Section VIII of the ASME Code (IBR, see § 171.7 of this sub- chapter), and is the gauge pressure at the top of the tank.
design pressure means the maximum pressure at which the manufacturer of a steam boiler or unfired pressure vessel or any fittings or pipework associated therewith designed the same to operate;
design pressure means the maximum pressure for which a specific part of a refrigerating system is designed.
