Design of elliptical heads for autoclaves
Thread Content
HG\t Do the end caps covered by the \"Design codes for integrally connected toothed clamp connectors\" in 20582-2011 include elliptical end caps? If it is not included, then how should one design and calculate the dimensions of an elliptical head?
It’s not clear whether it is included, but for the types we design, including the end caps, stress analysis is used for verification
Autoclaves generally use dome-shaped end caps, which are connected to internal toothed flange rings either by butt joints or fillet joints. Our company doesn’t produce many of these units; instead, we design them by referring to existing, mature product series from other manufacturers. The inspection shows no issues
