Effective Thickness of Conical Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Effective Thickness = Thickness*(cos(Apex Angle))
t_e = t*(cos(A))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Trigonometric cosine function, cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Effective Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Effective Thickness of the slab that carries a constant stress distribution σmax equal to the maximum value of the actual stress distribution σ.
Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness is the distance through an object.
Apex Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Apex angle is the angle between the lines that define the apex which is pointed tip of a cone.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Thickness: 1.2 Meter --> 1.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Apex Angle: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_e = t*(cos(A)) --> 1.2*(cos(0.785398163397301))

Evaluating ... ...

t_e = 0.848528137423982

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.848528137423982 Meter -->848.528137423982 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

848.528137423982 Millimeter <-- Effective Thickness

Depth of Torispherical Head

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 Go

Thickness of Shallow dished and Standard dished (Torishperical) Head

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

Thickness of Elliptical Head

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

Thickness of Flat Plate Cover or Head

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

Moment of Inertia of Stiffening Ring per Unit Length

Moment of Inertia of Stiffening Ring = ((External Pressure*(Outside Diameter^3))/(24*Young's Modulus)) Go

Circumferential Stress (Hoop Stress) in Cylinderical Shell

Effective Thickness of Conical Head Formula

Effective Thickness = Thickness*(cos(Apex Angle))
t_e = t*(cos(A))

What is Head?

A head is one of the end caps on a cylindrically shaped pressure vessel. Vessel dished ends are mostly used in storage or pressure vessels in industry. These ends, which in upright vessels are the bottom and the top, use less space than a hemisphere (which is the ideal form for pressure containments) while requiring only a slightly thicker wall.

How to Calculate Effective Thickness of Conical Head?
