Torispherical dish end calculations.

Can Anyone give me the formula for calculating plate size needed to make
the 10 % torispherical
dish ends for a reactor?
Diameter of reactor is 3000 mm
Height of Reactor is 3500 mm
volume required is 25 m3
Shell Thickness is 10 mm
I Want to Know is what shall be the diameter of 12 mm circular plate req
uired before it can be
bent to form the dish ends?

I do not think that there is any formula as such.

There is a thumb rule used in industries. It is more an internal practice.
For shallow dishing, the diameter of the plate circle is usually the final O
D of the dish plus 3 x t,
where t is the thickness of the original plate. During forming a bit of the mate
rial flows from the centre
towards the edges, which will give some small thickness difference over the pro
file.

Actually I want to calculate the weight of a reactor.

Now the weight of the cylinder can easily be calculated by multiplying volum
e X Density.
But in order to calculate the volume of top and bottom dish ends i need diam
eter of the plate

from which they are fabricated.

Now the approx weight of such a reactor come out to be close to 8-8.5 tons.
But by my calculations it is coming out as only 4.5 tons. Even if we add gea
rbox, motor,
nozzles etc. the difference should not be so large.

Please see section 4.3.2.3 on torispherical dished ends. The formula for approxi
mate volume
(multiply by density for weight) is given there.
Calculate the outside volume and the inside volume separately;
the difference is the volume of the dished end.
