What is the thickness reduction of a spherical head?

What is the thickness reduction for the HHA1000x32 spherical head? Which standard specifies thinning requirements for spherical heads? Thank you!
I did read about it in a textbook before; there was an empirical formula, but I can’t remember it right now
At the end of the head standards, there is a specified thickness reduction, which is related to the diameter and wall thickness
Provided by the head manufacturers, the forming thinning rate for hemispherical heads is generally around 15%.
There are standards for end caps; I forgot whether they are national standards or industry standards
