This link will give you approximate blank diameter for forming elliptical dished end. The area of the blank is the area of the elliptical head.

Thanks

RE: Vessel Heads Area

If the blank thins during the forming, won't the area increase?  How big is this effect?

Good luck,

Latexman, has pointed out something interesting...

RE: Vessel Heads Area

Yes, good point indeed. Generally thinning will be about 1/16" (maximum)upto 1/2" thickness. So there may be a 10% increase in the area.
