Engineering Note

For partially filled and fully filled torispherical and semi-ellipsoidal heads, the application estimates wetted surface area using elliptical-head equations. Since torispherical heads are generally flatter than elliptical heads, the calculated surface area may slightly overestimate the actual value. This conservative approach is appropriate for engineering applications where safety margins are preferred, such as pool fire relief calculations.
