The maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of a control valve (or regulator) is the highest amount of pressure the valve is rated to flow. If an operator forces the valve to flow pressure above the MAWP, the components—such as springs, diaphragms, o-rings, or the body itself—may fail.

While the MAWP of a valve is a static number, the valve operating pressure is the range for a regulator or valve pilot. Some literature also refers to operating pressure as “set point pressure.”
