    The document discusses torispherical heads, which are shallow heads with spherical radii. It provides the definitions and equations for calculating the thickness of standard and non-standard torispherical heads. An example calculation is shown for a dished torispherical head with a radius of 78 inches where the required thickness is calculated to be 2.54 inches. Non-standard 80-10 heads are also discussed, where the inner radius is 0.8 times the diameter and the knuckle radius is 10% of the diameter.

    Torispherical Heads:

    Shallow heads, commonly referred to as flanged and dished heads (F&D


    heads), are according to paragraph UG-32 (e), with a spherical radius L of 1.0D
    and a knuckle radius r of 0.06D.

    a) Flanged & Dished Heads (F&D heads):

    The dish radius of a Flanged and Dished Head is 1.0 D and the knuckle radius
    is 0.06% D. The required thickness of a Torispherical F&D Head with r/L = 0.06
    and L = Di, is:

    Example 15 - Torispherical Heads:

    A drum is to operate at 500°F and 350 psi and to hold 5000 gallons of water.
    The inside radius of the Dished Torispherical Heads is 78 in. The material is SA
    285 Grade A. Assume “S” = 11,200 psi and “E” = 0.85.

    Solution: Dished Torispherical Heads with L = Di and r/L = 0.06, use equation
    2.7.

    t = 0.885 PL / SE – 0.1P =

    t = 0.885 (350) (78) / (11,200)(0.85) – 0.1(350) = 2.54

    Non-Standard 80-10 - Flanged & Dished Heads:


    The inside radius (L) of an 80-10 is 0.8 Di and the knuckle radius (ri) is 10% of
    the head diameter. For the required thickness of a Non-Standard 80-10 Head,
    use equations 2.7 and 2.8. Designing 80-10 Torispherical Heads rather than
    standard shapes can be achieved by lowering the material costs. The 80-10 is
    typically only 66% the thickness of the standard Torispherical Heads.
