Maximum Allowable Internal Pressure
• Maximum pressure it is likely to be subjected in operation
• Normally taken as relief valve set pressure – 10% above the normal working pressure– Add hydraulic head in the base of the vessel to
the operating pressure– For bioreactor, consider steam pressure for
sterilization

Corrosion Allowance
• Additional thickness added to allow for material lost by corrosion and erosion
• Usually based on experience • For carbon and low-alloy steel use a
minimum of 2.0 mm • For more severe conditions increase to 4.0
mm.• No allowance for SS and other high-alloy
steels
