Head 2

The head is a component of a container (as shown in the figure on the right), which can be divided into several types according to its geometric shape, such as spherical, elliptical, disc-shaped, spherical crown shaped, conical shell, and flat cover. Among them, spherical, elliptical, disc-shaped, and spherical crown shaped heads are also collectively referred to as convex heads. Applied to various container equipment, such as storage tanks, heat exchangers, towers, reactors, boilers, and separation equipment.
● Head Overview
The head is a component of a container, the end cap on a pressure vessel, and a major pressure bearing part of the pressure vessel. Its quality is directly related to the long-term safe and reliable operation of pressure vessels.
● Head classification
According to different geometric shapes, it can be divided into several types such as elliptical, disc-shaped, spherical, spherical, conical shell, and flat cap. Among them, elliptical, disc-shaped, spherical, and spherical cap heads are also collectively referred to as convex heads.
