Supporting legs can be adjoined to the lower head of the vessel casing. Their placement and dimensions determine the analysis of bearing loads on vessel components. Analysis is carried out if 3 or 4 supporting legs are present. If there are 4 supporting legs, assembly quality must be accurately defined .

Name and dimensions of supporting legs are set in the same way as those for cylindrical shells. Supporting legs can have no reinforcements or be supported by reinforcing pads (see Fig. 1).

Supporting leg type is determined according to GOST 26202-84 (see Fig. 2).
