Manufacturing torispherical heads 2900 mm Type A

Cold forming and flanging of dished ends

When forming Type A, checks cover the smooth transition from the crown to the knuckle. The straight flange and edge are prepared for the agreed welded joint. The drawing coordinates these operations with the actual blank thickness and material.

For diameter 2900 mm, agree the blank, joint preparation and finished Type A profile inspection plan. Radii R = 2900 mm and r = 290 mm are recorded in the working drawing together with thickness and surface requirements.

  • Mating diameter 2900 mm and ovality
  • Profile R=2900 mm, r=290 mm
  • Finished part thickness
  • Straight flange profile and edge preparation
  • Surface condition and documentation requirements

Applications of torispherical heads 2900 mm Type A

Check the requirements for the equipment receiving the head: Heads for cylindrical pressure vessels, Heads for horizontal air receivers. These links describe the equipment applications; suitability of a specific head is confirmed by the equipment design.

Specify Type A separately from the diameter. Submit the equipment operating conditions, openings and additional loads for review of the selected profile.

Vessel equipment applications
Dished-end profile and manufacturing requirements

Torispherical head 2900 mm Type A — GOST requirements

Type A combines a spherical crown with a transition to a cylindrical straight flange. The crown and knuckle radii are agreed together because their combination defines the head profile and shell connection.

GOST 34347-2017 sets general manufacturing requirements for welded steel vessels; GOST 34233.2-2017 is used for calculations. The production range and profile radii are checked against the engineering documentation. For 2900 mm Type A, the catalogue specifies R = 2900 mm and r = 290 mm.

Repeat batch based on a sample — Type A

A repeat batch requires a current drawing even when an old component exists. For 2900 mm, distinguish reference sample dimensions from documented requirements. Sample wear and previous assembly changes must not enter the new order unnoticed.

For an order of 2900 mm Type A, state the drawing number and revision, material, thickness and acceptance requirements. Diameter 2900 mm does not replace the other specification requirements.

Geometry and quality inspection of dished ends

Quality inspection of heads 2900 mm Type A

The finished Type A profile is checked for mating diameter, ovality, radii and the transition zone. For a welded blank, weld and inspection requirements are specified in the documentation. Allowable pressure is established by calculation, not by the Type A designation.

  • Diameter 2900 mm checked against the specified datums
  • Checks of radii 2900 and 290 mm
  • Finished component thickness measurement
  • Inspection of the surface and transition zone
  • Checks of the straight flange, edge and opening positions

Frequently asked questions

Can a component be repeated using only an old sample?

A sample helps establish geometry, but the new batch requirements, material and tolerances are recorded in agreed documentation.

How does this profile differ from other head types?

The catalogue Type A profile uses R = D and r = 0,10D. A change to Type B or C changes the profile and requires a drawing and calculation review.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide the design pressure and temperature, medium, material, thickness, profile drawing and quantity. For 2900 mm Type A, also specify R = 2900 mm and r = 290 mm.

What is the lead time for torispherical head type a 2900 mm?

The lead time is confirmed after reviewing the material, thickness, batch size and processing requirements. The indicative lead time of 7 days or more is confirmed in the quotation.

Which material grades are available for torispherical head type a 2900 mm?

The grade is selected to suit the shell material, medium, temperature and welding process. Availability of a particular combination is confirmed after reviewing the project.

Packaging of dished ends

Delivery of torispherical heads 2900 mm Type A

The head of diameter 2900 mm Type A is delivered after packaging and transport arrangements are agreed. Vehicle selection takes into account the actual dimensions, component weight and batch quantity.

Include the delivery destination and unloading restrictions in the enquiry. Protection of prepared edges and surfaces is agreed for the project and transport conditions.
