TUTORIAL CHAPTER 2
PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE DESIGN

1. In your words, describe what do you understand by these terms:

a. MAWP
b. MAOP
c. Design Pressure
d. Operating pressure

2. Why It is important to closely monitor equipment pressures in order to ensure it does

not exceed MAOP?

3. Identify 3 possible location /parts that would be considered as the weakest parts in a
pressure vessel. And explain why these location/parts are considered as weakest
points.

4. If these pressure values (for a pressure vessel) are given, identify the possible
designation for each value
a. 1013 psi
b. 900 psi
c. 1110 psi
d. 750 psi

5. Based on your understanding, discuss the difference between “maximum design

temperature” and the “minimum design metal temperature (MDMT)”.

6. MDMT determines the use of impact testing. Explain what you understand by impact
testing, give an example.

7. Differentiate between the pressure relief valve and HIPPS in the aspect of functions
and applications in industry.
