What This Spreadsheet Does
Designs the tailing lug welded near the base of a tall pressure vessel — used by the auxiliary crane during vessel rotation from horizontal to vertical erection orientation. The tailing lug is the second pick point that complements the main lifting lugs near the vessel top.
What’s Inside the Excel File
- Inputs — vessel weight, vessel length, lug location, sling angle to ground, lug plate dimensions, pin diameter, material grade, dynamic factor
- Tailing load calculation from rotation geometry
- Net section tension at pin hole
- Pin bearing on lug plate
- Shear-out at lug edge
- Weld capacity at lug-to-shell connection
- Shell local stress contribution check
Who This Is For
- Pressure vessel design engineers
- Vessel erection and rigging engineers
- EPC mechanical teams on tall column installation
- Vessel fabricators supplying erection lugs
Codes & Standards Referenced
- ASME BTH-1 — Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices
- ASME VIII Division 1 — vessel shell stress principles
- Industry-standard vessel erection methodology

Frequently Asked Questions
Rotational erection vs vertical lift?
Tailing lug specifically supports the rotational erection where one crane holds the top and a second (tailing) crane controls the bottom. For straight vertical lift see our Vessel Erection — Rotational Lift sheet.
Local shell stress (WRC 107)?
This sheet handles the lug itself. For local shell stress per WRC 107/297, dedicated FEA or WRC methodology is needed.

What Tailing Lug Design Calculation — Vessel Erection Lug Excel calculates
Tailing Lug Design Calculation — Vessel Erection Lug Excel is an Excel-native engineering calculation tool built by 3D-LABS for mechanical, design, and equipment engineers working with pressure equipment, rotating machinery, and mechanical systems. It is used for sizing pressure vessels, heat exchangers, flanges, bolts, and other mechanical components. Every input is labelled and every output is traceable — the sheet is designed to be checkable, not a black box.
Codes and standards followed
Tailing Lug Design Calculation — Vessel Erection Lug Excel follows industry-standard Mechanical Engineering codes including ASME VIII Div 1 & 2, ASME B16.5, TEMA, API 660, HEI, EN 13445. Each formula is cross-referenced to the applicable code clause so your reviewer can trace calculations back to the standard.
If your project requires a different code base (e.g. converting an IS-code sheet to an ASME basis), we can produce a code-variant edition on request. Contact info@3d-labs.com for a variant quote.
What is included in your download
- The Excel calculation file (.xlsx) — fully unlocked formulas, cell-level comments, and a clear input/output layout.
- A sample worked example — realistic inputs plus expected outputs so you can validate the spreadsheet against a known case.
- User notes (PDF) — assumptions, code clauses referenced, and edge-case guidance.
- Revision history — every update to the spreadsheet is logged so you know what changed and when.
- Email support — reply within 24 hours (Monday to Saturday, IST) for questions about the spreadsheet or its use.
