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 3100 mm

For 3100 mm, inspect the large profile before transport operations. After acceptance, supports and handling within the facility must preserve its shape.
Checks during manufacturing include:
- initial blank thickness and condition;
- Diameter D = 3100 mm;
- elliptical dish depth h2 = 775 mm;
- knuckle geometry and uniformity;
- component ovality;
- surface and edge condition.
Applications of the elliptical head 3100 mm
Related equipment includes BDN oil degassers and fire water tanks.
- BDN oil buffer degassers
- Fire water tanks
- other vessels where D = 3100 mm is specified in the design documentation.
Large BDN units and tanks have different design requirements. The customer drawing confirms the specific application of D = 3100 mm.


GOST 6533-78 — 3100 mm
For the catalogue elliptical profile of diameter 3100 mm, dish depth h2 = 775 mm, or 0,25 of D. Straight flange height h1 depends on thickness and the agreed configuration.
Germes-Ural manufactures heads 3100 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.
