What is Head?
In the context of a vessel or tank, a head refers to the end closure of the vessel. It is typically a circular plate or dome-shaped structure that is attached to the cylindrical body of the vessel. The head is used to provide access to the interior of the vessel for inspection, maintenance, and cleaning. There are different types of heads used in vessel design, such as flat, dished, hemispherical, elliptical, torispherical, and conical heads. The choice of head type depends on factors such as the pressure rating, volume, and application of the vessel.
How to Calculate Depth of Torisperical Head?
Depth of Torisperical Head calculator uses Depth of Head = Crown Radius for Jacketed Reaction Vessel-sqrt((Crown Radius for Jacketed Reaction Vessel-Vessel Shell Outer Diameter/2)*(Crown Radius for Jacketed Reaction Vessel+Vessel Shell Outer Diameter/2-2*Knuckle Radius)) to calculate the Depth of Head, Depth of Torisperical Head refers to the vertical distance between the top of the vessel and the liquid level in the vessel when it is filled to its maximum operating capacity. Depth of Head is denoted by ho symbol.
How to calculate Depth of Torisperical Head using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth of Torisperical Head, enter Crown Radius for Jacketed Reaction Vessel (Rc), Vessel Shell Outer Diameter (Do) & Knuckle Radius (Rk) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depth of Torisperical Head calculation can be explained with given input values -> 73100.91 = 1.401-sqrt((1.401-0.55/2)*(1.401+0.55/2-2*0.055)).
