The torispherical head 1700 mm Type B is an end component for a vessel, selected according to its design.
Germes-Ural manufactures Type B heads of diameter 1700 mm by cold flanging to GOST 34347-2017 and the agreed drawing. Strength calculations use GOST 34233.2-2017.

Manufacturing torispherical heads 1700 mm Type B

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 1700 mm, agree the blank, joint preparation and finished Type B profile inspection plan. Radii R = 1530 mm and r = 289 mm are recorded in the working drawing together with thickness and surface requirements.
- Mating diameter 1700 mm and ovality
- Profile R=1530 mm, r=289 mm
- Finished part thickness
- Straight flange profile and edge preparation
- Surface condition and documentation requirements
Applications of torispherical heads 1700 mm Type B
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 B separately from the diameter. Submit the equipment operating conditions, openings and additional loads for review of the selected profile.


Torispherical head 1700 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 1700 mm Type B, the catalogue specifies R = 1530 mm and r = 289 mm.
Welded blank — Type B
Where a multi-part blank is permitted, agree weld positions and inspection in advance. The decision follows documentation and blank availability rather than diameter 1700 mm alone. State weld restrictions separately.
For an order of 1700 mm Type B, state the drawing number and revision, material, thickness and acceptance requirements. Diameter 1700 mm does not replace the other specification requirements.

Quality inspection of heads 1700 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 1700 mm checked against the specified datums
- Checks of radii 1530 and 289 mm
- Finished component thickness measurement
- Inspection of the surface and transition zone
- Checks of the straight flange, edge and opening positions

Frequently asked questions
Should the weld layout be specified in advance?
Yes, where the project restricts it. Include the required weld positions or the conditions permitting a welded blank.
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 1700 mm Type B, also specify R = 1530 mm and r = 289 mm.
What is the lead time for torispherical head type b 1700 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 1700 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 1700 mm Type B
The head of diameter 1700 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.
