You may consider reading the attached article (section 4):
It has been sent to me by the author itself.

I try to work on standard hot presses sizes then it doesn't matter what they use to manufacture. Hot presses heads also have better mechanical properties plus they are cheaper and quicker to make.
If you use pipe caps to ASME B16.9 then they are classed as SE , if you check the codes it will give you the SE ratios.
Generally the shape of the head will depend on the process, in particular the pressure. Plus of course price and availability.
Hope it helps.

1. Economy in manufacture and its weight,
2. Space available to fit the vessel with the head(s).
There are some minor factor that I would not mentioned at teh moment, otherwise you may get confused.
Hope it helps.
