Butt Caps used as Heads
(OP)
I want to use Butt caps for the heads of a 6" diameter tank. Which head type would one use in Compress for the calculation of a butt cap?
Thanks in Advance.

I believe Compress does not do calculations for standard pipe fittings. You can model your pipe cap as a 2:1 SE head to graphically show it; but I would not rely on Compress' calculation output for that particular component.
If your vessel code is ASME VIII-1 and your pipe cap is an ASME B16.9 fitting, refer to UG-44.
