The elliptical head 1300 mm is used in medium process equipment where location and medium matter alongside geometry. Underground and gas applications require a separate material and design review.
For D = 1300 mm, h2 = 325 mm. Steel grade and thickness within 3–22 mm are selected through calculations and the specification.

The straight flange height h1 is selected by diameter and thickness from GOST 6533-78, Table 2 (internal basic diameter). Sizes and thicknesses absent from that table, including 3 mm, require an agreed drawing or technical specification. h2 = D/4 for this elliptical profile.
Manufacturing elliptical heads 1300 mm

Production of 1300 mm maintains the profile without local deformation and preserves a uniform knuckle, reducing adjustment and helping position the head relative to the shell.
Checks during manufacturing include:
- initial blank thickness and condition;
- Diameter D = 1300 mm;
- elliptical dish depth h2 = 325 mm;
- knuckle geometry and uniformity;
- component ovality;
- surface and edge condition.
Applications of the elliptical head 1300 mm
Related applications include underground LPG tanks and filter separators, where service conditions significantly affect component requirements.
- Underground LPG tanks
- Filter separators and coalescing filters
- other vessels where D = 1300 mm is specified in the design documentation.
The same size is not automatically interchangeable between an underground tank and filter separator. Each equipment design specifies its configuration.


GOST 6533-78 — 1300 mm
For the catalogue elliptical profile of diameter 1300 mm, dish depth h2 = 325 mm, or 0,25 of D. Straight flange height h1 depends on thickness and the agreed configuration.
Germes-Ural manufactures heads 1300 mm with reference to GOST 6533-78, GOST 34347-2017, GOST 34233.2-2017, calculations and the technical specification. Non-standard parameters are recorded in the agreed drawing.
Ordering requirements for a head 1300 mm
For D = 1300 mm intended for specialised equipment, include equipment location conditions and the medium.
- thickness S and material grade;
- required straight flange height h1;
- equipment application, medium, pressure and temperature;
- edge preparation and welded joint requirements;
- equipment location and climate conditions;
