Questions regarding pressure vessel supports
Thread Content
Can the support brackets of pressure vessels be connected by welding directly, without installing corner bolts? Such as tower-type containers, large horizontal storage tanks, and so on
No, the impact of temperature must be taken into account for large horizontal storage tanks.
What about those tower-type containers and some ordinary vertical containers?
Tower-type containers are also not suitable; the welding strength may be insufficient, while the strength of the foundation bolts has been calculated. 、
It shouldn’t be allowed! Can communicate with the designer!

No, the supports and foundation bolts have all been verified, taking various conditions into account (such as wind loads and seismic loads). Especially pressure vessels require monitoring equipment; they definitely won’t pass. Don’t create trouble for yourself.
It shouldn’t be possible, right? With welding, the welds are prone to cracking due to alternating stresses
Unless these anchor bolts serve only a fixing purpose, that is, the equipment is self-supporting
