>Is this pressure valid only for the pressure acting from internal only ?
   Yes. External pressure involves potential stiffening rings and buckling    response. The pressure that is designed for is the pressure difference    across the pipe wall. If you had 250 psig inside and 100psig outside, the    design pressure would be 150 psi internal pressure. Note that if you ever    had the 250 psi acting alone, with only atmospheric pressure on the    outside, you'd have to design the pipe for 250 psi.

   You'd do well to study up on this stuff if you're going to be doing    piping calculations or reviewing them. This is a basic principle.
