Is there a specific industry term for the general shape of pic rel?
For example a doughnut shape is a torus, a dome is a hemisphere ect.
Whenever I search for steel "cup", "dish" or "bowl" all I am getting are culinary things like pie pans or sauce dishes.
I have also tried "recessed plate", "straight walled plate" and "flat top hemisphere" to no avail.
Please help me bros, what is the non culinary term for a non curved metal dish, again just like the circled thing in pic rel? Also tried looking for caps and hollow cylinders, but those are usually open on both ends and much longer than what I'm looking for.
Concave/convex cylinder
which part of "non-curved" do you not understand.
Cylinder
Flat cylinder then, moron
>moron
ah, yet another word you use incorrectly.
Says the guy describing flat shapes as bowls and dishes
Cylinders are solid unless specified hollow, and Im not getting much with "steel flat hollow cylinder".
Also, steel cylinders seem to typically be tall than they are wide, very unlike pic in op. Thanks for the idea though.
Not me. It's not a solid cylinder, its got a hollow bottom.
>It's not a solid cylinder, its got a hollow bottom.
Cap or Seat in use
hollow Disk if not.
Thanks anon, have looked at steel butt caps and all sorts of others but will try hollow disk.
Pan.
This, if it's a formed vessel shape.
If it's solid, a generic cylindrical segment that is extremely short compared to its diameter is usually referred to as a disk, although that's not the strict mathematical meaning of the term.
disk
"round metal barstool seat"
disk?? or like stool idk
Just the disk. If you just search for metal disks, you tend to get solid pucks. Hollow disk is better, but I did not know if there was a more general industry term for hollowed out disks/cylinders with one end capped.
Not as a part, the same way torus shaped bits aren't usually called a torus, but the engineers and designers would describe the part that way.
The other anon was correct that as a generic design element, that shape would most likely be referred to as a "pan", as in "pan head screw".
Consider that the difference between 'pot' vs a pan are the same factors that differentiate between your shape and the common picture people have of a cylinder being as tall or taller than it's diameter. A pan is usually shorter than a pot, and shorter than its diameter, it's flat-ish.
Same with a dish (or plate)- it may be concave and work as a shallow vessel, but a pan has well defined sides.
