How to Evaluate Depth of Elliptical Head?

Depth of Elliptical Head evaluator uses Height of Formed Head = Outer Shell Diameter/4 to evaluate the Height of Formed Head, The Depth of Elliptical Head is the shape of this head which is more economical, because the height of the head is just a fraction of the diameter which is half the diameter. Height of Formed Head is denoted by ho symbol.
