When designing the equipment, the tower height includes the skirt height and the head height
It’s another person who relies only on software and ignores the standards; the standards provide clear specifications regarding the symbol used to represent H, the height of the tower
The total height H of a tower vessel refers to the distance from the lower surface of the skirt foundation ring to the tangent line of the upper head.
It depends on the professional perspective from which you define the height of the tower. From a process engineering perspective, it should be the distance between the tangents. If you are calculating strength or designing the foundation of the equipment, this height should at least be from the bottom of the skirt to the tangent of the upper head. When planning the layout, the height of the suspension columns at the top of the tower may also need to be taken into account.
