design pressure definition

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 pressure that a pressure vessel or plant is designed to withstand safety when operating normally;
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;

Examples of design pressure in a sentence

  • Design pressure is calculated by adding the operating pressure necessary at an emission device to the total of all pressure losses accumulated from an emission device to the water source.

  • Para- graph (b) of this section applies to this paragraph unless otherwise noted in paragraph (b) of this section.(2) Design pressure and classification of storage containers.

  • Design pressure at the uppermost valve for a Class II standpipe system shall be 35 psi.

  • Design pressure shall be not less than the maximum permissible working pressure and shall take into account the possible fluctuations of pressure during actual operation.

  • 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.


More Definitions of design pressure

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.
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 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 pressure which a part of a gas propulsion system has been designed to withstand;
design pressure means the maximum pressure for which a specific part of a refrigerating system is designed.
design pressure means the pressure used, according to a recognized pressure vessel code, as indicated in 3.3.11 for the design of every element of the tank. The design pressure should never be less than the highest of the following three pressures: .1 the working pressure as given in 3.2.6.1; or .2 the sum of the pressure as given in 3.2.6.2 and the dynamic head pressure, determined on the basis of the dynamic forces due to inertia specified in 3.4.1 minus1.0 bar; such a dynamic head pressure should never be taken to be less than 0.35 bar; or .3 the required test pressure divided by 1.5.
