BOP Stack Maximum Rated Wellbore Pressure

The pressure containment rating of the ram BOPs in a stack. Note: In the event that the rams are rated at different pressures, the BOP stack maximum rated wellbore pressure is considered equal to the lowest rated ram BOP pressure. In stacks that do not contain any ram BOP, the BOP stack maximum rated wellbore pressure is considered equal to the lowest rated BOP pressure.
