ASME - Thickness Dished Head full Hemispherical
(On concave side)
The thickness of a blank unstayed fullhemispherical
head with the pressure on the concave side
shall be calculated by the equation:
where
L = radius to which the head was formed, measured on
the concave side of the head
P = maximum allowable working pressure
S = maximum allowable working stress, using values
given in Section II, Part D, Subpart 1, Table 1A
t = minimum thickness of head
w = weld joint strength reduction factor per PG-26
