Maximum allowable working pressure definition
Maximum allowable working pressure means the maximum gage pressure permissible at the top of a completed ves- sel in its operating position for a designated temperature.
Maximum allowable working pressure means the maximum gauge pressure permissible at the top of equipment, a container or a pressure vessel while operating at design temperature;
Maximum allowable working pressure or "MAWP" means the maximum gauge pressure as determined by employing the stress values, design rules, and dimensions designated by the accepted design and construction code or as determined by the Chief Inspector in accordance with this Chapter.

Maximum allowable working pressure or "MAWP" means the maximum gauge pressure permissible (in accordance with the design requirements) at the top of a vessel in its operating position at the design temperature. This pressure is the least of those calculated for every element of the vessel using nominal thickness exclusive of allowances for corrosion and thickness required for loadings other than pressure. It is the basis for the pressure setting of the pressure relieving devices (e.g., pressure relief valves) protecting the vessel. The design pressure may be used in place of the maximum allowable working pressure in all cases for which calculations are not made to determine the value of the maximum allowable working pressure.
