    This document provides a summary of calculations for the design of a hemispherical head made of carbon steel. Key details include an outside diameter of 231.102 inches, a thickness of 19.291 inches after forming, and an internal pressure of 3,584.6 psi. Calculations confirm the required minimum thickness of 9.145 inches is less than the actual thickness. The maximum allowed design pressure is determined to be 7,476.5 psi, which exceeds the actual internal pressure.
