Estimating Pressure Vessels Weights
It is important to be able to estimate vessel weights, since
most cost estimating procedures start with the weight of
the vessel. The vessel weight, both empty and full with
water, may be necessary to adequately design a foundation
or to assure that the vessel can be lifted or erected once it
gets to the construction site.
The weight of a vessel is made up of the weight of the
shell, the weight of the heads, and the weight of internals,
nozzles, pedestals, and skirts. The last two terms are
defined in Figure 12-3.

The weight of nozzles and internals can be estimated at 5 to 10% of the sum of the shell and head weights. The
weight of a skirt can be estimated as the same weight per foot as the shell with a length given by Equation 12-8
for an ellipsoidal head and Equation 12-9 for a conical head.

The weight of pedestals for a horizontal vessel can be estimated as 10% of the total weight of the vessel.
