What is Vessel Support in Process Equipment Design?

In equipment design, vessel support refers to the structural support provided to vessels or tanks used in various industrial processes. Vessels or tanks are used to store or transport various types of materials such as liquids, gases, and solids in industries such as chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing.The design of vessel support in equipment design must comply with various standards and codes, such as the American Petroleum Institute (API) standards, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) codes, and other international standards. The vessel support design must also be approved by regulatory bodies, such as local or national authorities, before construction or installation can begin.Overall, vessel support in equipment design is a critical aspect of industrial processes involving the use of vessels or tanks.

What is Compressive Load?

Compressive load, also known as compression, is a type of force that results in the compression or shortening of a material or structural element, such as a column or beam. It is a force that tends to crush or buckle a material, and is often opposed by a tensile force or tension. In structural engineering, compressive loads are an important consideration in the design of buildings, bridges, and other structures, as they can cause deformation, failure, or collapse if they exceed the strength or capacity of the materials or elements.
