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 2400 mm

Cold forming and flanging of dished ends

For 2400 mm, geometry stability is checked after process loads are removed. Supports preserve the finished profile until loading and assembly.

Checks during manufacturing include:

  • initial blank thickness and condition;
  • Diameter D = 2400 mm;
  • elliptical dish depth h2 = 600 mm;
  • knuckle geometry and uniformity;
  • component ovality;
  • surface and edge condition.

Applications of the elliptical head 2400 mm

Related applications include filter separators and fire water tanks.

Filtration equipment and tanks have different operating conditions. The links describe their specific applications.

Dished-end profile and manufacturing requirements

GOST 6533-78 — 2400 mm

For the catalogue elliptical profile of diameter 2400 mm, dish depth h2 = 600 mm, or 0,25 of D. Straight flange height h1 depends on thickness and the agreed configuration.

Germes-Ural manufactures heads 2400 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 2400 mm

For 2400 mm, state transport and unloading restrictions where access or lifting capacity at the site is limited.

  • thickness S and material grade;
  • required straight flange height h1;
  • equipment application, medium, pressure and temperature;
  • edge preparation and welded joint requirements;
  • route dimensions and unloading site restrictions;
  • available lifting equipment at the customer’s site;
  • drawing or technical specification for a project-specific configuration.
