This K-SECAL small help tool calculates the 2:1 Ellipsoidal Head Blank Diameter. Head is formed from a circular
plate of approximate blank diameter calculated using below empirical formula. This diameter is good for initial
planning and weight estimation.
OD + OD/24 + 2SF +2/3KR + (THK in case head thickness is equal to or greater than 25 mm/1 INCH)
Confirm with Head manufacturer before cutting the blank. Every manufacturer based on forming method have
different diameter requirement.
Along with 2:1 Ellipsoidal Head Blank Diameter this tool also calculates head volume and blank weight. Select
different type of metals from drop down for weight calculation. Select FPS unit to calculate diameter in inch.
Compare above data between different types of heads (Hemispherical and Torispherical) by selecting from drop
down.

Following formula has been used for calculating the Ellipsoidal head blank diameter:

For plate thickness less than 25 mm / 1.0 inch

Blank Diameter = D + (D/42) + (2*S.F)+ ((2/3) * Kr)
For plate thickness equal or more than 25 mm / 1.0 inch
Blank Diameter = D + (D/42) + (2*S.F) + ((2/3) * Kr)+ thk
where,
D = Outside Diameter of Ellipsoidal Head
S.F. = Straight Face
Kr = 0.17*D = Knuckle Radius
thk = Thickness of Head
