The lowest metal temperature at which equipment is designed to operate safely under its specified design conditions.
Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT) is the lowest temperature at which a pressure vessel or pressure-retaining component is permitted to operate under its specified design conditions without exceeding the material's allowable toughness limits. MDMT is established during equipment design to reduce the risk of brittle fracture at low operating temperatures.
Minimum Design Metal Temperature establishes the lowest allowable design temperature for pressure equipment to ensure safe operation.
MDMT is determined in accordance with applicable design codes, material properties and impact toughness requirements, and is an important consideration in pressure vessel design and fitness-for-service assessments.
Minimum Design Metal Temperature defines the lowest permissible design temperature, whereas Minimum Required Thickness defines the minimum wall thickness necessary to safely contain pressure.
