Design of liquid storage tank legs
Thread Content
What is the diameter? It’s 3.2 meters. Is it appropriate to use six circular tube legs for a liquid storage tank with a height of 10m?
It’s best to use group seating! If leg supports are used, the plate thickness of the lower head must be increased
It also depends on the head thickness and total weight.
The skirt base distributes forces evenly, which helps reduce the stress on the support points; it is also easy to manufacture, and it offers benefits for the foundation as well
Some equipment requires operation at the lower head pipe opening, for which rigid ring lug supports or lug supports can be used.
Regarding the specifications of the equipment provided by the poster, it is recommended to first check the load capacity of the legs, and then take into account factors such as piping layout when deciding on the appropriate type of support structure. For personal recommendations, group seating should be given priority.
