What does the design temperature of a container mean?
Design temperature: The metal temperature of the component as specified under normal operating conditions of the container (the average temperature along the metal cross-section of the component). The design temperature, together with the design pressure, serves as the design load condition. It does not refer to the medium temperature; it is not the only one in the entire design.
The design temperature is one of the design load conditions for pressure vessels; it refers to the metal temperature of the components under normal operating conditions (the average temperature across the metal cross-section of the components).
