What does the symbol h in the following insulation calculation formulas represent?

Question: In the following insulation calculation formula, what does the symbol h represent? Formulas for calculating the insulation, moisture protection, and protective layer of dome tank heads: V=2πr(h+1.033δ)×1.033δ; S=2πr(h+2.1δ)
May I ask: Is the above calculation formula correct?
It seems that the formula for calculating the surface area of the insulation layer on the dome tank head, S=2πr(h+2.1δ), is not very reasonable. If r is the radius of the tank and h is the height of the arch, such a calculated value should be smaller than the actual area. My views above may not be correct; please give me some advice! Thank you!
This formula is correct; the roof of a dome tank is essentially a spherical cap. What is needed is to calculate the surface area S of this spherical cap, and multiplying that surface area by the thickness of the insulation layer gives the volume of insulation required. In the formula: r is the radius of the curved surface of the roof, h is the height of the dome, 1.033 and 2.1 are adjustment coefficients, and δ is the thickness of the insulation layer

Question: When you mention the \"curvature radius of the dome,\" do you mean the \"radius of the tank\"?
The dome is a sphere, and the radius of its surface is the radius of the sphere, not the radius of the tank.
