This online calculator includes the formula. I'd posted previously another link but the formula therein was wrong, so I deleted it. Sorry! Are there heads of types other than flat for such elliptical cross section tanks? Hopefully not – the calculations woud be far more complicated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(vessel) Gerson. |

I guess both of them are correct if you do not want to talk about it on academic level Here it is a picture about it: Just for clarification, our "pressure vessel" looks like this vessel or tank: Csaba |

Answering my own question, yes, there are. The one in the first picture here is clearely not flat by the curved reflection of the ladder on the surface of the head. "Flat or slightly rounded ends", the specifications state. If the cross sections of both the head and the tank are elliptical, then simple exact formulas for parcial volumes are not possible, I think. |

I guess you're know that the shape of the vessels' end (head) is depends on the application. Your example clearly shows that nearly flat bottoms are applicable for low pressure and for the higher pressure the standard bottom is suitable. For vessel volume calculations the standards are includes the volume of each bottoms. For partially filled tanks the standard or owner company also gives a tabulated volume depends on level inside the vessel (eg. horizontal fuel tanks under the ground) - because it has cost impact. The real application is very simple: do not calculate anything if it has cost impact or if it has not, that is not real application You know it: Money makes the world go round. Csaba |

Yes, I've realized that vessels with rounded ends are mandatory for high pressure applications, like compressed air containers. But then again what is the point of calculating partial volumes in such cases? "Money makes the world go round". Quite true! We have a similar phrase here (o dinheiro move o mundo). I've found calculator and formulas for volume and base area of ellipsoidal caps at http://keisan.casio.com/has10/SpecExec.c...1311572253 It appears their surface areas is the problem there is no simple solution to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid Gerson. |
