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 700 mm

Elliptical heads 700 mm are manufactured on cold flanging equipment. This process provides consistent geometry, a uniform knuckle and repeatable profiles for individual and batch production.
Checks during manufacturing include:
- blank thickness;
- head diameter and height;
- elliptical dish profile;
- knuckle and flange quality;
- ovality;
- surface condition.
Applications of elliptical heads 700 mm
Elliptical heads of diameter 700 mm are used in:
- pressure vessels;
- horizontal and vertical tanks;
- tanks for liquids and gases;
- oil and gas equipment;
- chemical processing equipment;
- food and pharmaceutical tanks;
- separators and air receivers;
- boilers and heat-exchange equipment.


GOST 6533-78 — 700 mm
Elliptical flanged heads are used in vessels and tanks where strength, tightness and stress distribution are design considerations. For diameter 700 mm, the elliptical dish depth is 175 mm, with the catalogue value h2 = 0,25D.
Germes-Ural manufactures elliptical heads 700 mm with reference to GOST 6533-78, GOST 34347-2017, design documentation and the customer specification. An individual drawing can be agreed where required.
Features of the elliptical head 700 mm
