I found this calculator, calculate the measurements to be able to draw a truncated cone, we could report it on paper or sheet metal. I've seen other great posts here on how to draw it, this could be an added resource.

I tried to build a small cone that I needed. So I will test the correct calculation.

Here, cutting and welding is done quickly, not too careful.

I am lucky as I have a solid modeling software that converts a 3D model to a layout minus the tabs. It also calculates the volume so if I am building a 15 gallon boiler it figures it out for me. Your link and others we have on the forum are very helpful for those that don’t have access to software.

Thank you all. There are many software that can do this (great idea to use them for example for boiler construction). this is mainly for simple constructions or fittings.

A practical application, use as a reduction.
