ASME F& D Head 1

[karthik13]

Hai,
I am trying to find the total surface area of a vertical vessel with ASME F & D Head. Is there any formula to calculate the area?

Thanks,
Karthik

Yes. The equation for the head is:

A = =0.9286*D^2

where,
A = internal surface area of the ASME F&D head (w/o the straight flange), ft2
D = internal diameter, ft

My reference is: Pressure Vessel Handbook; Eugene F. Megyesy; 8th Edition; Pressure Vessel Handbook Publishing, Inc.

I hope you know how to find the surface of a cylinder, because I'm hoping I don't have to tell you that.

Hope this does it for you.
