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 2700 mm

For 2700 mm, finished supports after forming require particular attention. Incorrect positioning can cause local deformation even after successful production inspection.
Checks during manufacturing include:
- initial blank thickness and condition;
- Diameter D = 2700 mm;
- elliptical dish depth h2 = 675 mm;
- knuckle geometry and uniformity;
- component ovality;
- surface and edge condition.
Applications of the elliptical head 2700 mm
Applications include gas-liquid separators and underground LPG tanks.
- Gas-liquid centrifugal separators
- Underground LPG tanks
- other vessels where D = 2700 mm is specified in the design documentation.
These equipment types operate under different conditions. The head type is shared, while construction parameters are specified separately.


GOST 6533-78 — 2700 mm
For the catalogue elliptical profile of diameter 2700 mm, dish depth h2 = 675 mm, or 0,25 of D. Straight flange height h1 depends on thickness and the agreed configuration.
Germes-Ural manufactures heads 2700 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 2700 mm
For 2700 mm, agree interim storage conditions if there will be a substantial delay between delivery and assembly.
- thickness S and material grade;
- required straight flange height h1;
- equipment application, medium, pressure and temperature;
- edge preparation and welded joint requirements;
- storage conditions and duration before assembly;
- support or component positioning requirements at the site;
- drawing or technical specification for a project-specific configuration.
