A cap is an element used to seal the end of a container, isolating its internal and external media, also known as an end cover. The caps for cylindrical containers are typically rotative shells. They can be categorized by the shape of their surface into convex, conical, flat, and composite shapes. A convex cap refers to a cap with a convex outer surface, such as hemispherical, elliptical, dish-shaped, and seamless spherical caps. Some gas cylinders use a composite bottom cap with a convex inner surface, which ensures strength while also meeting safety requirements for use.
