Dished head volume per product height calcs.

Dished head volume per product height calcs.

Dished head volume per product height calcs.

(OP)

Hello,

I have a BS 799 type B Horizontal cylindrical vessel with shallow type dished ends, I would like to know the volume of the product that the tank is holding at any given product level so that I can create a dip table. I have found some calculations for the cylindrical section but the heads are proving a bit tricky to grasp.

Can some body help with some calculations please.

If possible can we get together some calcs for the 2 different types of dished ends in the code.

i.e.
- Fig.3. Shallow dished end. Ri=1.5Do, Ri=>38mm (assume 40mm), Do=2700mm max.

-Fig.4. 6% Torispherical Dished end. Ri=Do. ri=6%Do

Assume tank is perfectly level.


If it helps the tanks dimensions are;
Do = 3099mm
Tan-Tan Length= 1970mm
Wall thk.= 6mm
Volume= 10000 L(Approx)


Many thanks in advance.
Simon

...Epic!

Many Thanks!

Note also that you can numerically integrate head volumes using Simpson's rule, conveniently done via spreadsheet if the actual head geometry is known.
