VES / ASME / UG-32: Formed Heads With Pressure on the Concave Side

ASME VIII division 1 : UG-32: Formed Heads With Pressure on the Concave Side
Desciption
There are several types of heads:

Ellipsoidal head 2:1 (acceptable approximations are: R = 0.17 D and L = 0.9 D)

Torispherical head with L and R to be determined by user
Korbbogen head with L = 0.8 Do and R = 0.154 Do
Klöpperform head with L = 1.0 Do and R = 0.1 Do
Hemispherical head with L = 0.5 inside diameter
Conical shell without knuckle
Toriconical head with knuckle and L and R to be determined by user
Flat head with knuckle.

Scope
Elliptical heads:

t/L ≥ 0.002
0.0005 ≤ t/L < 0.002 (Use also Appendix 1-4(f))

Torispherical heads:

t/L ≥ 0.002
0.0005 ≤ t/L < 0.002 (Use also Appendix 1-4(f))
R ≥ 0.06 Do
L ≤ Do

Hemispherical heads:

t ≤ 0.356 L
P ≤ 0.665 S E

Conical heads without knuckle:

α ≤ 30°
α > 30° (Use also Appendix 1-5(g))

Toriconical heads with knuckle:

R ≥ 0.06 Do
R ≥ 3 tn
