Lug support is meant for supporting _______________ vessels?
Correct answer: C. Small
- A. Large horizontal cylindrical
- B. Tall but empty
- C. Small
- D. Thick walled tall
Explanation
Lug supports are commonly used for relatively small vessels, where welded lugs provide a simple support without the heavier skirt arrangement used for tall, large vessels. Tall vessels generally require skirts or more substantial support designs.
