maximum design pressure
1Maximum allowable operating pressure — or MAOP refers to the wall strength of a pressurized cylinder such as a pipeline or storage tank and how much pressure the walls may safely hold in normal operation. The MAOP is less than the MAWP (maximum allowable working pressure). MAWP being… …
2Pressure cooking — is a method of cooking in a sealed vessel that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset pressure. Because the boiling point of water increases as the pressure increases, the pressure built up inside the cooker allows the liquid in… …
3Pressure vessel — Vertical pressure vessels installed in a structure A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. The pressure differential is dangerous and many fatal… …

5Design and manufacturing of gears — Gear design is the process of designing a gear. Designing is done prior to manufacturing and includes calculation of the gear geometry, taking into account gear strength, wear characteristic of the gear teeth, material selection, gear alignment… …
6pressure cooker — 1. a reinforced pot, usually of steel or aluminum, in which soups, meats, vegetables, etc., may be cooked quickly in heat above boiling point by steam maintained under pressure. 2. any situation, job, assignment, etc., in which a person is faced… …
7Maximum Absorbency Garment — Drawing of a Maximum Absorbency Garment A Maximum Absorbency Garment (MAG) is a piece of clothing NASA astronauts wear during liftoff, landing, and extra vehicular activity (EVA) to absorb urine and feces …
8Pressure Equipment Directive — The Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC (PED) of the EU sets out the standards for the design and manufacture of pressure equipment generally over 1 litre in volume and having a maximum pressure more than 0.5 bar gauge. It has been mandatory… …
9Mean effective pressure — The mean effective pressure is a quantity related to the operation of an reciprocating engine and is a valuable measure of an engine s capacity to do work that is independent of engine displacement[1]. When quoted as an indicated mean effective… …
10Nuclear weapon design — The first nuclear weapons, though large, cumbersome and inefficient, provided the basic design building blocks of all future weapons. Here the Gadget device is prepared for the first nuclear test: Trinity. Nuclear weapon designs are physical,… …
