Elliptical Head Design Tool ver E5.02
 Description
Dimensions:                
 Do [in] - outside diameter of head ellipsoidal
 tb [in] - thickness before forming
If not specified use tf from note 1 below.
 tf [in] - thickness after forming (note 1)
 Corr [in] - corrosion allowance
Skirt volume is included in volume calculation
 Skirt [in] - straight skirt length
Material and Conditions:          
 Material 
 S [psi] - allowable stress 
Efficiency of weld in head. Not efficiency of head to shell.


 E - head longitudinal efficiency 
 P [psi] - interior pressure
Calculated Properties:
