For vertical cone-bottom tanks with a large diameter (over 2 meters), i.e., those with a conical bottom head, what type of support is usually used?
The type of support is indeed related to the diameter and the height-to-diameter ratio, but the specific structural design also depends on the equipment layout and piping requirements; this requires a comprehensive consideration. Different equipment layouts result in different piping needs, and thus the same type of equipment may have different support arrangements in different installations
The specific structural design also depends on the equipment layout and piping requirements, which need to be considered as a whole. Different equipment layouts result in different piping needs, and for the same type of equipment, the support methods may vary depending on the installation. This makes sense; it is necessary to base the design on the relevant conditions
A skirt base is a good choice, or legs
I can only request legs; can they be placed on the lower end cap vertebral body? What form would be more appropriate?
It is usually leg support, but ear support is also possible.
Refer to the selection of pressure vessel supports.
