Manufacturing torispherical heads 600 mm Type A

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 600 mm, agree the blank, joint preparation and finished Type A profile inspection plan. Radii R = 600 mm and r = 60 mm are recorded in the working drawing together with thickness and surface requirements.
- Mating diameter 600 mm and ovality
- Profile R=600 mm, r=60 mm
- Finished part thickness
- Straight flange profile and edge preparation
- Surface condition and documentation requirements
Applications of torispherical heads 600 mm Type A
Check the requirements for the equipment receiving the head: Heads for flare separators (FS), Heads for clarification filters. 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.


Torispherical head 600 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 600 mm Type A, the catalogue specifies R = 600 mm and r = 60 mm.
Mating with a compact shell — Type A
For a small head, agree the internal-surface dimension and edge machining allowance. State whether it will join an existing shell or the shell will be made for the actual head diameter, enabling a mating check before production.
For an order of 600 mm Type A, state the drawing number and revision, material, thickness and acceptance requirements. Diameter 600 mm does not replace the other specification requirements.

Quality inspection of heads 600 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 600 mm checked against the specified datums
- Checks of radii 600 and 60 mm
- Finished component thickness measurement
- Inspection of the surface and transition zone
- Checks of the straight flange, edge and opening positions

Frequently asked questions
What information is needed for a quotation?
Yes, to an agreed drawing. If the shell has not been made, specify the diameter datum and joint tolerances in advance.
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 600 mm Type A, also specify R = 600 mm and r = 60 mm.
What is the lead time for torispherical head type a 600 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 600 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.

Delivery of torispherical heads 600 mm Type A
The head of diameter 600 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.
