pressure vessel heads
(OP)
I need the basic formulas for describing the shape of the various dished heads for 150 psi pressure vessels. The purpose is to accurately calculate the volume contained in these heads.

RE: pressure vessel heads
For a 2:1 elliptical head, the volume is V = Pi / 24 * D^3.
For a hemispherical head, the volume is V = Pi / 12 * D^3.
In all of these formulas, use consistent units. In other words, if diameter is in inches, then the volume is in inches cubed.

For a diagram of these two head profiles.
This page shows how the volume for a true ellipse is derived http://www.gowelding.btinternet.co.uk/calcs/indexc.htm
