Manufacturing torispherical heads 2500 mm Type C

Cold forming and flanging of dished ends

When manufacturing Type C, the crown and knuckle are checked against the Type C diagram. Radii and profile height cannot be changed independently while retaining the same designation. Straight flange, bevel and allowances are specified for the joint.

For diameter 2500 mm, agree the blank, joint preparation and finished Type C profile inspection plan. Radii R = 2000 mm and r = 385 mm are recorded in the working drawing together with thickness and surface requirements.

  • Mating diameter 2500 mm and ovality
  • Profile R=2000 mm, r=385 mm
  • Finished part thickness
  • Straight flange profile and edge preparation
  • Surface condition and documentation requirements

Applications of torispherical heads 2500 mm Type C

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

Specify Type C 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 2500 mm Type C — GOST requirements

Type C uses its own crown and knuckle radius combination. It should not be described as a universal minimum-height option: dish depth follows the agreed profile and suitability follows the vessel calculation.

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 2500 mm Type C, the catalogue specifies R = 2000 mm and r = 385 mm.

Lifting and handling — Type C

Shipping weight and lifting method are agreed for the finished component. Protect the curved surface and machined edge during handling. For 2500 mm, provide site, unloading and packaging restrictions in advance.

For an order of 2500 mm Type C, state the drawing number and revision, material, thickness and acceptance requirements. Diameter 2500 mm does not replace the other specification requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Can weight be estimated before manufacturing?

Weight is estimated from the profile, thickness and material. To plan lifting, provide a complete drawing rather than diameter alone.

Is Type C always shallower than A and B?

There is no general rule for ordering. Installed height is determined from the complete profile and straight flange in the specific drawing.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide the design pressure and temperature, medium, material, thickness, profile drawing and quantity. For 2500 mm Type C, also specify R = 2000 mm and r = 385 mm.

What is the lead time for torispherical head type c 2500 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 c 2500 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 2500 mm Type C

The head of diameter 2500 mm Type C 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.
