Hello world,
Do we need to apply WIND loads to equipments like Pressure Vessel, Heat exchanger and pumps when we applied to pipe in the calculations? I do understand pipe is flexible and need to apply wind load as its elevated line near bay area.
I am in confusion as seismic loads apply to all, but when we do calcs one is applied wind loads and another half without winds loads on equipment do the calculations are correct?

Thank for replying your best answer.

Thanks
