Notes:
1) The table indicates the loading per foot according to the profiles and heights per loading, it
is heard the sum of the following loads:
a) Actual weight of the apparatus
b) Weight of the fluid (with density > 1)
c) Forces and moments induced by piping
d) Compression due to the wind or seismic loads on the foot more solicits.
2) The apparatuses will rest on 3 legs as a minimum; however a higher number could be
adopted if necessary.
3) In the table, loads not mentioned correspond to heights prohibited with the profile
