Torispherical Head
Torispherical head is a type of vessel head consisting of a dish with a
toroidal section (spherical cap centered on the vessel) joined to a
cylindrical section.

Torispherical head (or flanged and dished head), These heads have a dish with a
fixed radius (r1), the size of which depends on the type of torispherical head. The
transition between the cylinder and the dish is called the knuckle. The knuckle has a
toroidal shape.

Vessel dished ends are mostly used in storage or pressure vessels in industry.
These ends, which in upright vessels are the bottom and the top, use less space than
a hemisphere (which is the ideal form for pressure containments) while requiring only
a slightly thicker wall.

Usage of Torispherical head
Torispherical head are commonly used in the design and construction of tanks and
pressure vessels that operate under high pressure conditions.
Some common applications of elliptical heads include:
• Pressure vessels: Torispherical head are frequently used as end closures for
pressure vessels such as boilers, reactors, and distillation columns. These
vessels are used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and
power generation.
• Tanks: Torispherical head can be used in the construction of storage tanks for
liquids or gases such as water, fuel, and natural gas. They provide a smooth
transition between the tank body and the tank head.
• Heat exchangers: Torispherical head can also be used in the construction of
heat exchangers such as shell-and-tube heat exchangers, which are used in a
wide range of industries including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and
HVAC.
Torispherical head are widely used in various industries where pressure vessels,
tanks, or heat exchangers are required to operate at high pressures and
temperatures. The specific application, size, material, and thickness of an elliptical
head depend on the requirements and design standards of the project.
