Our purchasing department ordered a toriconical head, after which i was asked to check if it passed ASME Section VII Div 1 code and the rules seem a bit convoluted. So i'm under the gun for an answer. If you can answer any of these questions it would be greatly appreciated.

1. Can (L) in UG-32(h) exceed the OD of the skirt of the head?

2. Can the (L/r) ratio exceed 16 2/3 when using the torispherical head formulas to design the knuckle of the toriconical head?

3. Is there a limit to the half apex angle of the cone in a toriconical head?

thank you in advance for your time and answers!
