Is it possible to convert the weight of a large opening into the hydrostatic pressure at that opening?

As shown in the diagram, the design pressure of the equipment is 0.15 MPa. There is a small tower on the horizontal container; this tower has no lugs and is supported entirely by flange connections. The operating load is approximately 4000 kg. When carrying out hole reinforcement work, how should this 4000 kg of weight be taken into account? How can it be determined whether it is necessary to add reinforcing rings or ribs at this hole?

Apart from the calculations related to internal pressure and openings, for verification under local loads on the 20583 shell, for ordinary equipment it is sufficient to consider only weight loads; for more important equipment, seismic shear effects as specified in the appendix of the tower standards should also be taken into account. I think that if the equipment is not too tall, wind loads can be ignored
