Head or Cover
End caps on a cylindrically shaped pressure vessel
Can be attached to shell by welded, riveted or bolted
construction
Must be capable of withstanding the working pressure
Common types:
(a) Flat Plate:
pressure
(b) Flanged & dished head: Used for low P vessels
(i) Flared & dished head
(ii) Shallow dished head

Advantage:
- inexpensive
- can absorb expansion
-eccentricity
-compressive, tensile (wind),
shear stresses are induced in
the vessel wall.

- placed at two positions
- behave as beam

Stress:
Longitudinal stress at support.
If the shell does not retain its round shape under load, a
portion of the upper part of its x-section is ineffective
against bending.
