Head

This document discusses different types of heads that can be manufactured, including torispherical, 2:1 semi-ellipsoidal, hemispherical, shallow head, cones, and inverted heads. It provides more details on torispherical and 2:1 semi-ellipsoidal heads, including specifications for inner crown radius, inner knuckle radius, and skirt fillet dimensions.

Head Types
We manufacture a range of dished heads and cones to varying shapes and standards. This includes
Torispherical, 2:1 Semi-Ellipsoidal, Hemispherical, Shallow Head, Cones and Cones for Pressure
Vessels, Flat, Inverted Dish and Inverted Cones.
Torispherical.
Torispherical heads are the most common type
of head used for the manufacture of pressure
vessels and usually the most economical to
form.
The I.C.R is equal to the I.D of the head or
less. We normally suggest allowing the I.C.R
to be between 90% to 95% of the I.D of the
head.
The I.K.R needs to be between 6% and 10% of
the I.C.R of the head.
The S.F is normally between 10mm and 30mm depending on the diameter and thickness of the
head to be formed.
2:1 Semi-Ellipsoidal.
2:1 Semi-Ellipsoidal heads are deeper than a
torispherical head and therefore stronger and
able to resist greater pressures. These heads are
more difficult to form owning to the greater
depth required. As a result these are more
expensive to form than a torispherical head,
but may allow a reduction in material
thickness as the strength is greater.
The I.C.R is 0.8 of the O.D of the head.
The I.K.R is 0.154 of the O.D of the head.
