Design Pressure for Vessel
Design Pressure for Vessel
(OP)
Design pressure for vessels is usually taken higher of 1.1 times the maximum operating pressure or 30 psi. Is this correct? Please confirm and give the reference as well.

This will keep the max operating pressure from being within 10% of your PSV setting.

There is no "correct" or "wrong" involved in determining the margin between the design and operating pressures of a vessel.
It is all a matter of owner preference.
Usually, the most difficult part of the process is the determination of the maximum or peak operating condition under any and all circumstances. Then a margin is added to arrive at the MAWP or design pressure. The margin is a matter of judgement.
The Megyesy recommendation is just that and no more...
My opinion only..
