Skirt on Cone of vertical vessel
Skirt on Cone of vertical vessel
(OP)
I have a cone bottom vessel with a skirt. How is the best way to calculate the stresses in the cone to see if the thickness is sufficient due to the attachment of the skirt. Any help will be appreciated. I have never put a skirt on a conical head. Thanks in advance.

For this small vessel, legs are usually a better choice.
Do not include a skirt in the design unless there is a very good reason to have one (ie. very tall vessel - high seismic or wind loads)
