K-secal small help tool calculates the Hemispherical Head Blank Diameter. Diameter is required for
the fabrication of head from plate. Along with diameter this tool also calculates head blank weight
and Volume. For weight you have the option to select different type of metals. Select FPS unit to
calculate diameter in inch.
This tool also has the option to select different type of heads (2:1 Ellipsoidal and Torispherical) thus
instantly comparing the data between three different types of head.

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

Blank Diameter = ( * D)/2

where,
= 3.141
D = Outside Diameter of Hemispherical Head

TORISPHERICAL HEAD
HEAD VOLUME
Hemispherical Head Volume = ( * D )/12 (TORISPHERICAL-HEAD-
where,
= 3.141 BLANK-DIAMETER.PHP)
D = Inside Diameter of Hemispherical Head

HEAD BLANK WEIGHT

Blank Weight = ( * D * thk * )/ 16

where,
= 3.141
D = Outside Diameter of Hemispherical Head
thk = Thickness of Head
= Density of Material
