pressure vessel dimensions

Any one know the formulas and dimensions to draw the pressure head on a
pressure vessel? I need to be farily accurate so we can get the biggest
tank possible in the space available.

I searched this newsgroup and the drafting books I have, and the internet,
but I couldn't locate how to draw it.

Thanks

Kent,

You should really contact Shaan Hurley- I'm sure you know him! (Who hasn't
run into him somewhere on these discussion groups?!?) He used to work with
pressure vessel designs, and more, and is really knowledgeable about stuff
like that. I've even seen some neat stuff he's written to customize things
like the dimpling on pressure vessels.
