Manufacturing torispherical heads 3300 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 3300 mm, agree the blank, joint preparation and finished Type B profile inspection plan. Radii R = 2970 mm and r = 561 mm are recorded in the working drawing together with thickness and surface requirements.

  • Mating diameter 3300 mm and ovality
  • Profile R=2970 mm, r=561 mm
  • Finished part thickness
  • Straight flange profile and edge preparation
  • Surface condition and documentation requirements

Applications of torispherical heads 3300 mm Type B

Check the requirements for the equipment receiving the head: Heads for industrial separators, Heads for flare separators (FS). 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 3300 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 3300 mm Type B, the catalogue specifies R = 2970 mm and r = 561 mm.

Surface requirements — Type B

Surface quality and permitted defects follow the vessel application. For 3300 mm, state cleaning, weld area processing and material preservation requirements, distinguishing profile manufacturing from additional surface work.

For an order of 3300 mm Type B, state the drawing number and revision, material, thickness and acceptance requirements. Diameter 3300 mm does not replace the other specification requirements.

Geometry and quality inspection of dished ends

Quality inspection of heads 3300 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 3300 mm checked against the specified datums
  • Checks of radii 2970 and 561 mm
  • Finished component thickness measurement
  • Inspection of the surface and transition zone
  • Checks of the straight flange, edge and opening positions

Frequently asked questions

Is surface processing included automatically?

Processing operations are agreed in the order. State the required surface condition and mark special processing zones on the drawing.

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 3300 mm Type B, also specify R = 2970 mm and r = 561 mm.

What is the lead time for torispherical head type b 3300 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 3300 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 3300 mm Type B

The head of diameter 3300 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.
