How to calculate the weight of the cylindrical shell part of a storage tank, excluding the head?

As the title suggests, I would like to ask fellow sailors: how does one calculate the weight of the cylindrical shell part of a storage tank, excluding the head portion? Are there any relevant **standard documents for reference?

? ? ? How come I didn’t understand it~~ Hehe, usually we can tell at a glance on the QDS – things like manholes, cylinder bodies, piping, supports, and so on

No way, can’t this even be calculated? (Diameter ¢ + one plate thickness δ) * pi * one plate thickness δ * length of the cylindrical barrel L * density ρ (¢ + δ) * pi * δ * L * ρ

3# Yixing Jiuzhou Head Gaskets. Thank you for your answer. Since my work involves issues related to this area, I’m reaching out to ask for some guidance. Also, is there any standard documentation available regarding the weight of the bottom supports in horizontal storage tanks? Is there a formula for calculating that weight?

You can check the weight of the supports in JB/T4712-2007; this standard specifies the weight of such supports. . .

Cylinders can be simplified to steel pipes for easier calculation; there are many Excel templates available for download online, and the process is relatively fast. There are indeed standards for saddles, but saddles manufactured in accordance with these standards are limited in number

Thank you all. However, the material specifications for container supports that I am referring to currently are from the old version. I was wondering if anyone could kindly provide me with a copy of the 2007 version; I would be extremely grateful: 285394172@qq.com
