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 2800 mm

Manufacturing 2800 mm includes geometry inspection and safe handling preparation. Avoid concentrated loads during storage and lifting of this large component.
Checks during manufacturing include:
- initial blank thickness and condition;
- Diameter D = 2800 mm;
- elliptical dish depth h2 = 700 mm;
- knuckle geometry and uniformity;
- component ovality;
- surface and edge condition.
Applications of the elliptical head 2800 mm
Applications for 2800 mm include gas-liquid separators and fire water tanks.
- Gas-liquid centrifugal separators
- Fire water tanks
- other vessels where D = 2800 mm is specified in the design documentation.
Each equipment type needs its own calculations. D = 2800 mm is a catalogue production size used where specified by the design.


GOST 6533-78 — 2800 mm
For the catalogue elliptical profile of diameter 2800 mm, dish depth h2 = 700 mm, or 0,25 of D. Straight flange height h1 depends on thickness and the agreed configuration.
Germes-Ural manufactures heads 2800 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 2800 mm
Before ordering 2800 mm, state assembly opening restrictions, unloading conditions and lifting requirements.
- thickness S and material grade;
- required straight flange height h1;
- equipment application, medium, pressure and temperature;
- edge preparation and welded joint requirements;
- assembly opening or site access restrictions;
- preferred lifting and unloading method;
- drawing or technical specification for a project-specific configuration.

Materials for the head 2800 mm
Carbon and low-alloy steels
St3, St20, 09G2S, 17G1S, 20YuCh and Other steel grades
Stainless steels
08Kh18N10T, 12Kh18N10T, 10Kh17N13M2T, AISI 304, AISI 321, AISI 316Ti and equivalents
Aluminium alloys
AMg3, AMg5, AMg6 and other alloys by agreement
Titanium and special alloys
VT1-0, VT5, VT6, OT4-0 and other materials to the design documentation
Material selection considers design pressure, temperature and medium. A large diameter still requires an engineering calculation of thickness.

Quality inspection of heads 2800 mm
The main component parameters are checked before delivery. In addition to dimensions, edge condition is checked after handling within production and before final packaging.
- compliance of diameter D = 2800 mm;
- elliptical dish depth h2 = 700 mm;
- metal thickness;
- ovality and knuckle geometry;
- surface and edge quality;
- compliance with GOST, technical specifications or the drawing.
