Thank you
 

RE: Negative Pressure Piping

Vacuum is negatave pressure as compared to the atmosphere.  I don't use the term "negative pressure piping" but have worked with vacuum applications.

I'd use Sub-atmospheric

Generally, negative pressure piping is piping with an operating internal pressure that is less than atmospheric pressure.

In some (few) applications, where jacketed piping is used (cryogenic applications come to mind) the pressure in the annular space between the outer pipe and the inner pipe is higher than the internal pressure of the inner pipe.  In these cases the inner pipe is designed as though it were a "negative (internal) pressure system".

Yes exactly!
..  and for offshore pipelines, aircraft, space vehicles too.

Back to Earth, absolute references can also be helpful when you're pipeline starts at sea level and runs to a terminal at 2800 meters.  

An atmospheric reference in those situations is useless.
