Description
Wind Force on Horizontal Vessel Calculation
Engineering Spreadsheet — Instant Download
What This Spreadsheet Does
Calculates wind loading on horizontal pressure vessels per ASCE 7 and other applicable wind codes. Output feeds saddle support design, anchor design, and overall vessel stability checks for above-grade installed vessels.
What’s Inside the Excel File
- Inputs — vessel OD, length, elevation above grade, basic wind speed, exposure category, importance factor, topographic factor
- Velocity pressure calculation per ASCE 7
- Drag coefficient for horizontal cylinder per ASCE 7 Figure 29.5
- Wind force — total and per unit length
- Overturning moment at saddles
- Lateral reactions at fixed and sliding saddles
- Anchor bolt tension from wind
Who This Is For
- Pressure vessel design engineers
- Structural engineers on vessel foundation design
- EPC mechanical teams
- Plant designers in hurricane-prone or high-wind regions
Codes & Standards Referenced

Frequently Asked Questions
ASCE 7 or Eurocode?
This sheet is ASCE 7. For Eurocode wind (EN 1991-1-4), request a custom version.
Insulated or jacketed vessel?
Insulation increases projected area and weight — adjust input OD to include insulation thickness.
