Depth of Elliptical Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/4
ho = Do/4
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
ho = Do/4 --> 0.013/4
Evaluating ... ...
ho = 0.00325
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.00325 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.00325 Meter <-- Height of Formed Head
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

7 Vessel Heads Calculators

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 Elliptical Head Formula

Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/4
ho = Do/4

What are Elliptical Heads?

This are also called an Elliptical heads. The shape of this head is more economical, because the height of the head is just a fraction of the diameter. Its radius varies between the major and minor axis; usually the ratio is 2:1.

How to Calculate Depth of Elliptical Head?

Depth of Elliptical Head calculator uses Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/4 to calculate the Height of Formed Head, The Depth of Elliptical Head is the shape of this head which is more economical, because the height of the head is just a fraction of the diameter which is half the diameter. Height of Formed Head is denoted by ho symbol.

How to calculate Depth of Elliptical Head using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth of Elliptical Head, enter Outer Shell Diameter (Do) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depth of Elliptical Head calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.00325 = 0.013/4.

FAQ

What is Depth of Elliptical Head?
The Depth of Elliptical Head is the shape of this head which is more economical, because the height of the head is just a fraction of the diameter which is half the diameter and is represented as ho = Do/4 or Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/4. 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 Elliptical Head?
The Depth of Elliptical Head is the shape of this head which is more economical, because the height of the head is just a fraction of the diameter which is half the diameter is calculated using Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/4. To calculate Depth of Elliptical Head, you need Outer Shell Diameter (Do). 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/2
  • 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
