Abstract
In field applications, it is assumed that the equipment has already been fabricated and been shop-tested for the maximum allowable pressure (MAP). The MAP is defined as the maximum allowable pressure of the vessel in the new and old condition. It is more often determined in the shop before delivery. After the vessel is delivered, any test performed after operation begins is the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP). The MAWP can also be used for new construction. The maximum allowable working pressure is defined as the maximum gauge pressure permissible at the top of the completed vessel in its operating condition for a designated temperature. Three formulae that are always helpful in mechanics problems are the properties of area, section modulus, and moment of inertia for the cross-section of a circular cylinder.
