(OP)
In sketch (l), y looks like the offset between OD of head and OD of shell at tangent line. If a hemi head has the same OD as shell, then y equals 0. Does that mean tapered length l can be 0 (no taper)? In reality, at the weld joint, there is going to be big offset there.

I see some company standard defining y as measure from weld joint to OD of shell. I think it makes more sense than Sketch (l).
