Fatigue cracking can typically be first detected at points of high-stress intensification such as: a. horizontal straight runs of piping, b. branch connections or sharp changes of direction, ¢. vertical straight runs of piping, d, properly designed expansion loops. 144, The maximum internal pressure permitted in the piping system for continued operation at the most severe condition of the coincident internal or external pressure and temperature (minimum or maximum) expected during service is known as: a. maximum relief valve pressure (MRVP) b. maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) c. maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) maximum jurisdictional pressure allowed (MJPA) ‘CODEWEST API 570 PREP COURSE COPYRIGHT 2007 ~ J.
