![]() In this sense they are no different than any temporary clip added to facilitate handling during shop fabrication. ![]() Lifting lugs are a temporary attachment that may be removed from the shell before operation. And hopefully no one will try to lift and move a pressurized vessel using temporary "lifting lugs". Such lugs are not intended as primary structural supports during operation of the vessel (if they were they would be support lugs). Lifting lugs, however, are intended for temporary use during construction, erection, and placement of the vessel prior to operation. ![]() These loads from the support lugs are clearly included in UG-22 as loadings to be considered when designing the vessel. Thus the local stresses in the shell resulting from the support reactions must be combined with stresses resulting from pressure. Support lugs (as opposed to a support skirt, legs, saddles, etc) support the vessel during operation. ![]() Then I realized just what a can of worms are opened by this simple question.įirst, let's clarify if we're discussing lifting lugs or support lugs: But I have to admit it did make me think for a bit.
