Support Legs/Skirt

Support legs and skirt components are engineered structural elements designed to provide vertical support, stability, and peripheral protection for feedwater tanks within storage sections of industrial systems. These components ensure proper weight distribution, prevent tank deformation, protect against external impacts, and maintain alignment with connected piping and equipment. They are critical for operational safety, vibration dampening, and thermal expansion management in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Support legs transfer the tank's weight and operational loads to the foundation through vertical compression, while the skirt provides lateral stability and protects the tank base from environmental and mechanical damage. The design incorporates load distribution principles, material strength calculations, and thermal expansion allowances to maintain structural integrity under varying operational conditions.
