Attached Legs to 2:1 Elliptical Head
Attached Legs to 2:1 Elliptical Head
(OP)
Is there any design considerations to take into account when attaching legs directly the bottom head instead of attaching them to the shell. I want to use either channels or angle supports to attach the legs to the head. The vessel itself is an API 650 tank that is atmosperic.

Assuming you work out some way to adequately analyze the tank, there's no reason you couldn't put the legs on the elliptical head. I've noticed a bunch of little cone-bottom tanks on farms, and most of them have legs attaching to the cone with circular ring.
