3 Terms and Definitions
3.0.1 Pressure and pressure vessels
1 Pressure
Pressure refers to the force vertically acted on the object per unit area, namely intensity of pressure in physics.
1) Absolute pressure
Absolute pressure is the pressure measured subject to zero pressure in absolute vacuum, expressed by the pressure unit followed by A or a.
2) Gauge pressure
Gauge pressure is the difference between the internal pressure of pressure vessels and the ambient atmospheric pressure, expressed by the pressure unit followed by G or g. In the design documents (including drawings) of pressure vessels, the referred pressure refers to the gauge pressure unless otherwise specified.
3) Degree of vacuum
Degree of vacuum refers to the rarefaction degree of gas under the vacuum state.
Degree of vacuum = ambient atmospheric pressure [0.1 MPa(A)]-absolute pressure in the vessel (A).
The absolute value of negative gauge pressure in the vessel design is the degree of vacuum.
2 Operating pressure, working pressure
It is the maximum pressure that can be reached on the top of the vessel under normal working conditions.
"Normal working conditions" refers to the state of vessels normally and safely operating within the range of specified design conditions (such as environment, material, temperature and pressure) in the production process of continuous and normal operation.
3 Design pressure
It refers to the set maximum pressure on the top of the vessel, which shall be taken as the basic design conditions together with the corresponding design temperature, and its value shall not be less than the working pressure.
The design pressure determining principles are detailed in Chapter 4 of this standard.
4 Calculation pressure
It refers to the pressure for determining the thickness of each part of the vessel at corresponding design temperature, in consideration of the additional loads such as static pressure of liquid column.
As for the vessels composed of two or more pressure chambers (such as the vessel with jacket and the multi-cavity tower-type vessel with middle head), the maximum pressure difference between chambers shall be considered for determining the calculation pressure.
5 Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP)
It refers to the maximum gauge pressure on the top of the vessel at the design temperature. This pressure is the minimum value of the calculation results according to the effective thickness of each pressure part of the vessel, in consideration of all the loads on the part.
The maximum allowable working pressure is used to set the initial pressure of vessel overpressure limit, make the best of the rounding thickness of the vessel, enlarge the pressure difference between the working pressure and the release pressure of the safety valve or rupture disk as much as possible, so as to make the pressure vessels work more stably.
6 Set pressure
1) Opening pressure
It refers to the predetermined pressure at which the safety valve clack starts to rise under the operating conditions.
2) Design bursting pressure
In the case of designing the rupture disk, the bursting pressure value at the design bursting temperature shall be proposed by the designer.
As for the pressure vessels equipped with overpressure relief devices, the set pressure of overpressure relief devices shall not be higher than the design pressure of the vessels.
As for the pressure vessels indicated with the maximum allowable working pressure in the drawings, the set pressure of the overpressure relief devices is allowed to be not higher than the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessels.
