Depth of Torispherical Head Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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
h_o = R_co-(((R_co)-(D_o/2))*((R_co)+(D_o/2)-(2*R_ko)))^0.5
This formula uses 4 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 Crown Radius of Head - (Measured in Meter) - Outer Crown Radius of Head is the horizontal distance, as seen in plan view, from the trunk of a tree to the edge of the crown (drip-line).
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.
Outer Knuckle Radius of Head - (Measured in Meter) - Outer Knuckle Radius of Head is torispherical dome the surface obtained from the intersection of a spherical cap with a tangent torus and the radius of the torus is called the knuckle radius.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Outer Crown Radius of Head: 0.05 Meter --> 0.05 Meter No Conversion Required
Outer Shell Diameter: 0.013 Meter --> 0.013 Meter No Conversion Required
Outer Knuckle Radius of Head: 0.012 Meter --> 0.012 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_o = R_co-(((R_co)-(D_o/2))*((R_co)+(D_o/2)-(2*R_ko)))^0.5 --> 0.05-(((0.05)-(0.013/2))*((0.05)+(0.013/2)-(2*0.012)))^0.5

Evaluating ... ...

h_o = 0.0124001329789586

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0124001329789586 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0124001329789586 ≈ 0.0124 Meter <-- Height of Formed Head

What are Torispherical Heads?

These heads have a dish with a fixed radius (r1), the size of which depends on the type of torispherical head. The transition between the cylinder and the dish is called the knuckle. The knuckle has a toroidal shape.

How to Calculate Depth of Torispherical Head?

Depth of Torispherical Head calculator uses 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 to calculate the Height of Formed Head, The Depth of Torispherical Head formula is defined as the heads which have a dish with a fixed radius (r1), the size of which depends on the type of torispherical head, it is half the diameter. Height of Formed Head is denoted by h_o symbol.

How to calculate Depth of Torispherical Head using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth of Torispherical Head, enter Outer Crown Radius of Head (R_co), Outer Shell Diameter (D_o) & Outer Knuckle Radius of Head (R_ko) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depth of Torispherical Head calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.0124 = 0.05-(((0.05)-(0.013/2))*((0.05)+(0.013/2)-(2*0.012)))^0.5.
