Dear All,

I have a vessel of ID 2200 mm and height 6000mm (TL to TL).
It has torispherical dish at both ends.
Internal pressure:1.62 bar(g)
The support legs are placed on the bottom dish at a PCD of 1680mm.

Thus the support legs are welded to rf pads on bottom dish. (no contact with shell).

Please help me regarding the thickness of bottom dish. how to verify it?

Should i use nozzles on bottom dish at that PCD and use WRC 107 to superimpose the loads on nozzle experienced by legs?

I have used compressive load on all 4 nozzles (P Load in WRC 107). is it too conservative? since there will be no opening.
