Regarding the issue of pressure vessel supports
Thread Content
During inspections at a certain facility, a buffer tank was found in which each end cap had a pipe connection, with no other forms of support; I would like to know what type of support this is (support)
You said there are no other ways of supporting it – is it going to be hung in the air?
The device must be very small, so it is supported directly by pipes.
Yes, it’s like two pipes hanging there.
If that’s the case, it can be considered in terms of fittings； However, if the temperature is too high, thermal expansion must be taken into account for the pipes.
The device is very light and is supported directly by tubes.
It must be a very small device, made of a cylindrical tube, right?
