2. INTRODUCTION

The calculation of the liquid volume or wetted area of a partially

filled vertical vessel is best performed in parts, by calculating the

value for the cylindrical section of the vessel and the heads of the

vessel and then adding the areas or volumes together. Below we

present the wetted area and partially filled volume for each type of

head and the cylindrical section.

The partially filled volume is primarily used for the calculation of

tank filling times and the setting of control set points, alarm levelsand system trip points.

The wetted area is the area of contact between the liquid and the

wall of the tank. This is primary used in fire studies of process and

storage vessels to determine the emergency venting capacity

required to protect the vessel. Unlike horizontal vessels, it is notoften required to know the surface area of a partially filled vertical

vessel's head and in this article we present formulae for completely

filled heads only.

The volume and wetted area of partially filled horizontal vessels is

covered separately.

3. HEMISPHERICAL HEADS - VERTICAL VESSEL

Hemispherical heads have a depth which is half their diameter. They

have the highest design pressures out of all the head types and as

such are typically the most expensive head type. The formula for

calculating the wetted area and volume are presented as follows.

the top of the head.

4. SEMI-ELLIPSOIDAL OR ELLIPTICAL HEADS - VERTICAL VESSEL

The semi-ellipsoidal heads are shallower than the hemispherical

heads and deeper than the torispherical heads and therefore have

design pressures and expense lying between these two designs.

The most common variant of semi-ellipsoidal head is the 2:1

elliptical head which has a depth equal to 1/4 of the vessel

diameter. The formula for calculating the wetted area and volume

for the 2:1 semi-elliptical head are presented as follows.

4.1 Wetted Area

The wetted area calculated using this method does not include the

straight flange of the head. The length of the straight flange must be

included in the calculation of the wetted area of the cylindrical

section.

for DIN 28013 Semi ellipsoidal heads:

The volume calculated does not include the straight flange of the

head, only the curved section. The straight flange length must be

included in the calculation of the volume of the cylindrical section.

5. TORISPHERICAL HEADS - VERTICAL VESSEL

Torispherical heads are the most economical and therefore is the

most common head type used for process vessels. Torispherical

heads are shallower and typically have lower design pressures than

semi-elliptical heads. The formula for the calculation of the wetted

area and volume of a partially filled torispherical head is presented

as follows.

5.1 Wetted Area

We can approximate the partially filled surface area of the

torispherical head using the formula for elliptical heads. This

approximation will over estimate the surface area because a

torispherical head is flatter than a ellipsoidal head. This assumption

is conservative for pool fire relieving calculations.

The wetted area calculated using this method does not include thestraight flange of the head. The length of the straight flange must be

included in the calculation of the wetted area of the cylindrical

section.
