1. Diameter: The diameter is one of the most critical measurement parameters, determining how the head fits with the vessel. Typically, the head diameter should match either the inner or outer diameter of the vessel. In special applications, slight deviations (larger or smaller) may be required.

2. Thickness: Thickness depends on required strength and rigidity, selected based on vessel specifications and operating conditions. Generally, greater thickness increases rigidity but also raises cost and weight.

3. Bend Radius: The bend radius defines the curvature of the head. This parameter is crucial for complex-shaped heads and must be tightly controlled during manufacturing to ensure precision and consistency.

4. Protrusion Height: Certain processes require the head to extend above the vessel by a specified height to provide additional space or enhance strength.
