The maximum diameter we can forma 2:1 Sem Elipsoidal head to is 2310mm LD.
The S.F is normally between 10mm and 30mm depending on the diameter and thickness of the head to be formed,
Hemispherical.
Hemispherical heads allow more pressure than any otber bead. However, the hemispherical head isthe most expensive to form, as they consists
of a mumber of petals or gores, The number of which depends on te size of the head and the thickness ofthe plate to be used. The depth of the
bead is balfof the diameter.
Hemispherical heads are ako used in architectural applications by joising two hemispheres together to forma spherical ball, Other common.
