Torispherical head Type B — profile diagram

Type BCylindrical pressure vesselsHorizontal air receivers

The torispherical head 1000 mm Type B is an end component for a vessel, selected according to its design.

Germes-Ural manufactures Type B heads of diameter 1000 mm by cold flanging to GOST 34347-2017 and the agreed drawing. Strength calculations use GOST 34233.2-2017.

Manufacturing torispherical heads 1000 mm Type B

Cold forming and flanging of dished ends

Type B manufacturing requires the crown-to-flange transition to be agreed for its own profile. A Type A checking template cannot be used merely because the mating diameter is the same. Edge preparation and straight flange length are specified separately in the drawing.

For diameter 1000 mm, agree the blank, joint preparation and finished Type B profile inspection plan. Radii R = 900 mm and r = 170 mm are recorded in the working drawing together with thickness and surface requirements.

  • Mating diameter 1000 mm and ovality
  • Profile R=900 mm, r=170 mm
  • Finished part thickness
  • Straight flange profile and edge preparation
  • Surface condition and documentation requirements

Applications of torispherical heads 1000 mm Type B

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

Dished-end profile and manufacturing requirements

Torispherical head 1000 mm Type B — GOST requirements

Type B differs from Type A in the combination of crown and knuckle radii. Its larger relative knuckle radius is considered together with the crown radius. Selection is confirmed by the vessel design, including loads in the edge region.

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 1000 mm Type B, the catalogue specifies R = 900 mm and r = 170 mm.

Comparison of three configurations — Type B

All three types are listed for diameter 1000 mm. Compare radii, thickness and calculation parameters rather than mating diameter alone. Use the same pressure, temperature and material data when requesting alternatives.

For an order of 1000 mm Type B, state the drawing number and revision, material, thickness and acceptance requirements. Diameter 1000 mm does not replace the other specification requirements.

Geometry and quality inspection of dished ends

Quality inspection of heads 1000 mm Type B

Type B checks cover the radii of the selected configuration, mating profile and finished thickness. Inspection datums for the crown and edge regions are agreed for acceptance. Checks of welded blanks follow the order documentation.

  • Diameter 1000 mm checked against the specified datums
  • Checks of radii 900 and 170 mm
  • Finished component thickness measurement
  • Inspection of the surface and transition zone
  • Checks of the straight flange, edge and opening positions

Frequently asked questions

How can A, B and C prices be compared?

Request options with the same initial conditions: diameter, material, design parameters, quantity and edge preparation.

Can A be replaced with B without changing the design?

No. B uses different R and r ratios. Equal mating diameters do not establish strength, height or vessel compatibility.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide the design pressure and temperature, medium, material, thickness, profile drawing and quantity. For 1000 mm Type B, also specify R = 900 mm and r = 170 mm.

What is the lead time for torispherical head type b 1000 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 b 1000 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 1000 mm Type B

The head of diameter 1000 mm Type B 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.
