Italian term or phrase: "calotte ellettiche"
"La struttura dell'autoclave:
L'autoclave si compone di un corpo cilindro delimitato alle estremità da calotte ellettiche."
I can't find these terms together in Google even just In Italian. Garzanti gives "cap" for "calotta" but I have no idea about "ellettiche".
Any suggestions??
