Design Pressure (DP) is the maximum pressure used to determine the minimum wall thickness materials or physical characteristic of each component. ASME B31.3 specified as the design pressure and temperature are the most severe coincident conditions, defined as the conditions that result in the greatest pipe wall thickness or highest required pressure class or other component rating. Design conditions are not intended to be a combination of the highest potential pressure and the highest potential temperature, unless such conditions occur at the same time.
