Dear All Gents;

Keeping All Design Criteria Same, Why Differents D'Ends have differents Thickness ? any theoretical Explanation ?

For vertical vessels, this could be due to the weight of the vessel, static head, wind/seismic loads, etc.

Think the designer is an artist, it can be designed as wish as long as it complies with the Code of construction.
