Quickly calculate the main dimensions of a Klöpper or Korbbogen head for industrial tanks, vessels and equipment.
Select the head type and enter your project details to obtain an initial dimensional reference before requesting manufacture.
The results of this calculator are indicative. Dimensions and manufacturing feasibility must be validated against the final project drawings and specifications.
Differences between Klöpper and Korbbogen heads
Klöpper and Korbbogen heads are dished heads used in the manufacture of industrial tanks, vessels and equipment, but they have different geometries and proportions.
The Klöpper head uses a characteristic arrangement of radii, while the Korbbogen head has a different geometry. The choice depends on the vessel design and the technical specifications established for each project.

From calculation to head manufacturing
Once the dimensions have been defined, Steel Bombe Valley can assess head manufacturing from your project drawings and technical specifications.
To prepare the assessment, we need to know, among other details:
- Head type.
- Diameter.
- Thickness.
- Material.
- Tolerances.
- Edge preparation.
- Surface finish, where necessary.
Our technical team will review the information to check manufacturing feasibility and prepare a quote tailored to the project.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about Klöpper and Korbbogen heads
What is the Klöpper and Korbbogen head calculator for?
It provides an initial reference for the geometric dimensions of a head based on the selected type and the parameters entered.
What is the difference between a Klöpper and a Korbbogen head?
Both are dished heads, but they have different geometries and proportions. The choice will depend on the design and technical specifications of the tank or vessel.
Can the calculator results be used directly for manufacturing?
No. The calculator is a supporting tool. Before manufacturing, the dimensions, material, thickness, tolerances and other project specifications must be validated.
Do you manufacture heads calculated with this tool?
Yes. You can send us the results together with your drawing and technical specifications so we can assess manufacturing the head to your requirements.
Can I send a drawing directly?
Yes. If you already have a technical drawing, you can send it directly for our team to assess feasibility and prepare a quote.
