A pressure vessel is a device used to store, transport or process various gases or liquids
1. Spherical head: The spherical head is a common head structure, which is suitable for spherical or arc-shaped pressure vessels, such as spherical tanks, spherical reactors, etc. The spherical head has good uniform stress characteristics and high internal pressure bearing capacity, and is suitable for pressure vessels with high internal pressure requirements. In addition, the spherical head also has the advantages of beautiful shape, easy manufacturing and installation, and is often used for pressure vessels with larger diameters.
2. Elliptical head: The elliptical head is an elliptical head structure, which is suitable for cylindrical pressure vessels with a large aspect ratio, such as storage tanks, separators, etc. The elliptical head has lower cost and better rigidity, and is suitable for pressure vessels with longer diameters and lower high pressure requirements. In addition, the elliptical head also has good formability and internal pressure bearing capacity, and is often used in large storage tanks and other occasions.
3. Flat head: The flat head is a flat head structure, which is suitable for cylindrical pressure vessels with small diameter and low height, such as small storage tanks, pipelines, etc. Flat heads have simple manufacturing processes and low costs, and are suitable for pressure vessels with low internal pressure requirements. In addition, flat heads also have large volumes and small surface areas, and are often used in pressure vessels with high volume requirements.
4. Conical head: The conical head is a conical head structure, which is suitable for conical pressure vessels, such as conical bottom tanks, inclined tank reactors, etc. Conical heads have good fluidity and stirring performance, and are suitable for pressure vessels with high fluid flow requirements. In addition, conical heads also have greater strength and internal pressure bearing capacity, and are often used in inclined or inverted pressure vessels.
In general, the selection of a suitable head should consider factors such as the design parameters, process requirements and use environment of the pressure vessel. When selecting the material of the head, attention should be paid to its pressure resistance, welding performance and corrosion resistance; when selecting the head structure, comprehensive consideration should be given to the geometric shape and process requirements of the pressure vessel. At the same time, according to the requirements of relevant standards and specifications, it should be ensured that the selected head meets the national and industry safety standards to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the pressure vessel.
