Can a reactor with four ear mounts be without foot bolts?

Can a reactor with four ear mounts do without foot bolts? Is it okay to place it on frame beams?
There should be, right? Don’t ear mounts usually have bolt holes for the feet?
No, it needs to be fixed with bolts. Any container needs to be secured.
If the equipment is heavy enough, foundation bolts may not be necessary; for example, the ammonia synthesis tower can be placed directly on the foundation. However, if the reaction vessel is equipped with a stirrer, it should be installed, taking vibration issues into consideration.
It needs to be fixed below; it’s very dangerous if it’s not fixed
No, it needs to be fixed with bolts. Any container needs to be secured. Ear mounts all come standard with foot bolt holes.
Just because the ammonia synthesis tower is placed directly on the foundation doesn’t mean it isn’t secured with bolts. Can you send a picture?
The towers used for ammonia synthesis already have a considerable weight, and with the catalyst added, their weight can reach several hundred tons. They are generally fixed directly to the frame structure, without the use of foundation bolts. Reactor vessels generally still need to be equipped with anchor bolts, right?

Foundation bolts are designed primarily to prevent overturning and sliding; those with stirrups are used to avoid vibration, and this requires calculation. From a design perspective, it is necessary to ensure that under extreme conditions – such as when the tanks are empty and the equipment has been in use for 10 years and is thus corroded – its own weight is sufficient to resist the forces of earthquakes and strong winds. So the calculations are quite complex; to simplify things in engineering, a large margin is provided for the anchor bolts. The earthing base comes in standard versions, and the size of the anchor bolts is not chosen arbitrarily. Simply put, if you know how to calculate, you can figure out for yourself whether the device can be secured solely by its own weight and friction. If you can’t, then it’s better to install the foot bolts.
