Is the nameplate pressure the design pressure?
Thread Content
Nameplate pressure refers to the design pressure or the maximum operating pressure?
It should refer to the maximum operating pressure.
It should be the maximum operating pressure; however, there is a standard nameplate template on page 108 of the Code
It should be the maximum allowable operating pressure
Where does the term \"nameplate pressure\" come from? If the nameplate is prepared in accordance with regulatory requirements, it will indicate the design pressure and the maximum operating pressure
If there is a maximum operating pressure, then that shall be used; if the maximum operating pressure is not known, then the design pressure shall be used.
I think it should be design pressure
The nameplate also includes: design pressure, maximum operating pressure, and pressure test pressure, as required by the Pressure Vessel Regulations
It should be the maximum operating pressure, as the maximum operating pressure (which is less than or equal to) the design pressure – usually the two values are set equal to each other
The nameplate pressure should include the design pressure and the maximum operating pressure, right?
The nameplate should indicate the design pressure and the maximum operating pressure, which are separate values; there is also a pressure test pressure, as clearly specified in the regulatory documents
