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 1700 mm

Forming 1700 mm includes checks of final diameter and height distribution across the section, supporting shell assembly and a defined weld position.
Checks during manufacturing include:
- initial blank thickness and condition;
- Diameter D = 1700 mm;
- elliptical dish depth h2 = 425 mm;
- knuckle geometry and uniformity;
- component ovality;
- surface and edge condition.
Applications of the elliptical head 1700 mm
Applications include gas-liquid separators and fire water tanks.
- Gas-liquid centrifugal separators
- Fire water tanks
- other vessels where D = 1700 mm is specified in the design documentation.
Both applications use vessels but have different pressure, medium and material requirements. The actual D = 1700 mm configuration is agreed separately.


GOST 6533-78 — 1700 mm
For the catalogue elliptical profile of diameter 1700 mm, dish depth h2 = 425 mm, or 0,25 of D. Straight flange height h1 depends on thickness and the agreed configuration.
Germes-Ural manufactures heads 1700 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 1700 mm
For 1700 mm, state profile requirements and allowable deviations where defined by the engineering documentation.
