Thickness of shells under internal pressure for Conical Heads

Conical Head D t s α
Conical Head

Values for calculation

$ E $
$ P $ $ \mathrm{MPa} $
$ T $ $ \mathrm{°C} $
$ D $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ α $ $ \mathrm{°} $
$ t_s $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ S $ $ \mathrm{MPa} $

Calculation

Minimum required thickness of head after forming

$$t=\cfrac{P\cdot D}{2\cdot\cos{α}\cdot\left(S\cdot E-0.6\cdot P\right)}$$

$$t_s\geq t$$
