In the calculations for SW6 fixed-tube-sheet heat exchangers, why is there no option for liquid column hydrostatic pressure for the shell of the tube box?

Gentlemen, does anyone know why in the SW6 calculation software’s “calculation program for fixed-tube-sheet heat exchangers,” there is an option for liquid column hydrostatic pressure for both the tube box head and the shell side cylinder, but no such option for the tube box cylinder? I have a vertical heat exchanger that is 12 meters long. The design team wants to add a liquid column static pressure – how should this be addressed? Should the design pressure be increased directly?
Then include it in the design pressure during calculation, and no longer enter the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column when entering the tube sheet head. It’s not to increase the design pressure.
