Skirts, other supports, internal structures, etc., might not be subjected to the same stresses and/or temperatures as the vessel shell. Therefore, less expensive materials can sometimes be used.

Four letters; C,O,S,T.

Of both more expensive material and also fabrication techniques that may be required when the performance of the material is NOT required for the skirt portion.
