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 800 mm

The 800 mm head needs an accurate crown-to-straight-flange transition. Agree blank thickness, steel grade, h1 and edge requirements before production. Cold flanging and inspection support repeatable geometry for individual and batch manufacturing.
During manufacturing of D = 800 mm, checks cover:
- initial blank thickness and condition;
- actual component diameter;
- elliptical dish depth h2 = 200 mm;
- uniformity of straight flange h1;
- ovality and overall geometry;
- surface and edge quality.
Applications of the elliptical head 800 mm
Heads of D = 800 mm can be manufactured for different vessel equipment. The vessel design determines the actual parameters. The following application categories are available:
- vertical air receivers;
- horizontal air receivers;
- EP and EPP drainage tanks;
- process tanks for liquids and gases;
- vessels whose designs specify an elliptical flanged head.
Equipment selection considers D = 800 mm, shell thickness, operating pressure, temperature, medium and material.


GOST 6533-78 — 800 mm
For the catalogue elliptical profile of diameter 800 mm, dish depth h2 = 200 mm, or 0,25 of D. Straight flange height h1 depends on thickness and the agreed configuration.
Germes-Ural manufactures heads 800 mm with reference to GOST 6533-78, GOST 34347-2017, GOST 34233.2-2017, calculations and the technical specification. Where the catalogue profile does not suit the design, record the agreed parameters in the customer drawing.
Features of the elliptical head 800 mm
- compact size for different types of tank equipment;
- elliptical profile with load distribution defined by vessel calculations;
- straight flange to prepare the component for shell assembly;
- selection of thickness and material for the specified medium;
- individual and batch manufacturing;
- manufacturing to GOST, technical specifications and customer drawings.
