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 2500 mm

Before manufacturing 2500 mm, review material, thickness, h1, tolerances, edge and inspection requirements to reduce changes after a large blank enters production.
Checks during manufacturing include:
- initial blank thickness and condition;
- Diameter D = 2500 mm;
- elliptical dish depth h2 = 625 mm;
- knuckle geometry and uniformity;
- component ovality;
- surface and edge condition.
Applications of the elliptical head 2500 mm
Applications for 2500 mm include BDN units and LPG storage tanks.
- BDN oil buffer degassers
- LPG storage tanks
- other vessels where D = 2500 mm is specified in the design documentation.
In both applications, final geometry follows the vessel or tank design. This page does not assign a universal diameter to a particular model.


GOST 6533-78 — 2500 mm
For the catalogue elliptical profile of diameter 2500 mm, dish depth h2 = 625 mm, or 0,25 of D. Straight flange height h1 depends on thickness and the agreed configuration.
Germes-Ural manufactures heads 2500 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 2500 mm
For D = 2500 mm, submit a complete specification, particularly where special tolerances or documentation requirements apply.
- thickness S and material grade;
- required straight flange height h1;
- equipment application, medium, pressure and temperature;
- edge preparation and welded joint requirements;
- inspection dimensions and special tolerances;
- component records, certificates and accompanying documentation requirements;
- drawing or technical specification for a project-specific configuration.
