The shallow dished head 2500 mm is a flanged end component with a low-profile crown. Its suitability for a vessel, tank or other equipment is established by the equipment design.
Germes-Ural manufactures shallow dished heads 2500 mm by cold flanging to agreed technical specifications and drawings. Applicable GOST 34347-2017 requirements are considered for welded steel vessels.

The table retains the published production dimensions for 2500 mm. The R interval and h1 ≥ 3,5s condition describe the company catalogue profile, rather than a universal GOST profile. Exact radii, dish depth, flange and finished thickness are recorded in the drawing; allowable pressure is confirmed by calculation.
Manufacturing shallow dished heads 2500 mm

When forming the 2500 mm head, the crown is joined to the knuckle r = 100 mm. The exact R value is selected within the agreed range 3000–3500 mm. Blank preparation, flange and weld edge are coordinated with thickness, material and the drawing.
- Mating diameter 2500 mm and ovality
- Crown profile and smooth transition to the flange
- Thickness after forming
- Straight flange length and edge condition
- Surface condition and order documentation
Applications of heads 2500 mm
Specify the head requirements for the intended equipment: Heads for horizontal air receivers, Heads for cylindrical pressure vessels. These pages help define the equipment requirements; they do not automatically establish a diameter or allowable operating pressure.
The shallow dished configuration 2500 mm is agreed for its profile, loads, material and assembly conditions. Atmospheric, internal pressure or external pressure service must be stated in the equipment design where applicable.


Profile 2500 mm and requirements GOST
The geometry of the shallow dished profile 2500 mm is specified by technical specifications and the engineering drawing. The dimensions on this card cannot be applied automatically to an elliptical or torispherical head of the same diameter.
GOST 34347-2017 sets general technical requirements for welded steel vessels. Calculations use the project documentation and an applicable method, including GOST 34233.2-2017 within its scope. The dimensional table does not establish an allowable pressure.
Handling within production
Handling 2500 mm must preserve the profile and machined edge. Lifting contact points and fixtures are agreed for weight and construction. Include special customer handling requirements in the documentation.
For the 2500 mm head, include information specific to the shallow dished profile, knuckle radius 100 mm and selected R value. The part designation and document revision must match in the order and assembly specification.

Material selection for 2500 mm
The material for the shallow dished head 2500 mm is matched to the shell, medium and temperature. State the exact grade, finished thickness, corrosion allowance and surface condition. Availability of a material does not establish feasibility of every size combination without a project review.

Quality inspection of heads 2500 mm
Inspection of the shallow dished head 2500 mm covers the joint, crown profile and knuckle r = 100 mm. R, h1 and h2 are checked against the same agreed drawing revision. Weld inspection requirements are specified for welded blanks.
- Diameter 2500 mm and mating tolerances
- Profile radii and heights according to the drawing
- Thickness in the specified zones
- Surface and edge condition
- Compliance of openings and connections with the order
