Depth of Hemispherical Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/2
h_o = D_o/2
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Height of Formed Head - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Formed Head is a type of plain head or plain formed head which is used for horizontal cylindrical storage vessel /shell operating under atmospheric pressure.
Outer Shell Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Outer Shell Diameter is that linear measurement taken on the cylinder and solid mass between exactly opposite points on the convex surface across the diameter.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Outer Shell Diameter: 0.013 Meter --> 0.013 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_o = D_o/2 --> 0.013/2

Evaluating ... ...

h_o = 0.0065

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0065 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0065 Meter <-- Height of Formed Head

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Depth of Torispherical Head

Go Height of Formed Head = Outer Crown Radius of Head-(((Outer Crown Radius of Head)-(Outer Shell Diameter/2))*((Outer Crown Radius of Head)+(Outer Shell Diameter/2)-(2*Outer Knuckle Radius of Head)))^0.5

Thickness of Shallow dished and Standard dished (Torishperical) Head

Go Thickess of Torishperical Head = (Internal Design Pressure*Crown Radius*(1/4*(3+(Crown Radius/Knuckle Radius)^0.5)))/(2*Design Stress*Joint Efficiency)

Thickness of Elliptical Head

Go Thickness of Elliptical Head = (Internal Design Pressure*Major Axis of Ellipse*Stress Intensification Factor)/(2*Design Stress*Joint Efficiency)

Thickness of Flat Plate Cover or Head

Go Thickness of Flat Plate Head = (Edge Fixity Constant*Diameter of Plate)*((Internal Design Pressure/Design Stress)^0.5)

Stress Intensification Factor using Ratio of Major to Minor Axis

Go Stress Intensification Factor = (1/6)*(2+Ratio of Major to Minor Axis^2)

Depth of Hemispherical Head

Go Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/2

Depth of Elliptical Head

Go Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/4

Depth of Hemispherical Head Formula

Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/2
h_o = D_o/2

What are Hemisperical Heads?

Hemispherical heads are a popular choice for pressure vessels due to their ideal shape, which divides the pressure in the vessel equally across the head's surface. Also known as hemispherical tank heads or hemispherical dished ends, they're commonly used on liquid and gas storage tanks.

How to Calculate Depth of Hemispherical Head?

Depth of Hemispherical Head calculator uses Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/2 to calculate the Height of Formed Head, The Depth of Hemispherical Head formula is defined as a sphere which is the ideal shape for a head, because the stresses are distributed evenly through the material of the head. Height of Formed Head is denoted by h_o symbol.

How to calculate Depth of Hemispherical Head using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth of Hemispherical Head, enter Outer Shell Diameter (D_o) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depth of Hemispherical Head calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.0065 = 0.013/2.

FAQ

What is Depth of Hemispherical Head?

The Depth of Hemispherical Head formula is defined as a sphere which is the ideal shape for a head, because the stresses are distributed evenly through the material of the head and is represented as h_o = D_o/2 or Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/2. Outer Shell Diameter is that linear measurement taken on the cylinder and solid mass between exactly opposite points on the convex surface across the diameter.

How to calculate Depth of Hemispherical Head?

The Depth of Hemispherical Head formula is defined as a sphere which is the ideal shape for a head, because the stresses are distributed evenly through the material of the head is calculated using Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/2. To calculate Depth of Hemispherical Head, you need Outer Shell Diameter (D_o). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Outer Shell Diameter and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Height of Formed Head?

In this formula, Height of Formed Head uses Outer Shell Diameter. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/4
Height of Formed Head = Outer Crown Radius of Head-(((Outer Crown Radius of Head)-(Outer Shell Diameter/2))*((Outer Crown Radius of Head)+(Outer Shell Diameter/2)-(2*Outer Knuckle Radius of Head)))^0.5
