Titanium Hemispherical Heads

Product Introduction

Hemispherical heads are produced with dedicated tooling and a controlled hot pressing or spinning sequence, which is what keeps the roundness and wall thickness within limits after forming. This page is for pressure vessel, heat exchanger and reactor fabricators buying formed ends rather than flat plate.

Applications and Titanium Advantages

The heads close the top and bottom of chemical reactors, heat exchangers, pharmaceutical vessels and high-pressure storage tanks. Pressing can crack the material or thin the wall beyond the allowable reduction, and inspection then fails, so the forming route and the acceptance criteria need to be agreed with the drawing.

• Dedicated tooling and controlled forming keep the roundness and the wall-thickness reduction within the limits agreed with the customer.
• Heads are produced to support radiographic or ultrasonic examination where the project requires it.
• The formed end is delivered with the skirt, tangent line and edge preparation that the fabricator has planned.

Quality and Purchasing Information

Send the drawing with the material grade, diameter, thickness, tangent line, edge preparation, quantity and required inspection level. Tibars reviews the head against the tooling and forming capacity available and confirms which thickness and inspection requirements can be met before quoting.

• Clarify the grade, size, tolerance, quantity and delivery schedule required for these titanium hemispherical heads so the quotation reflects the actual scope.
• Confirm which certificates, test reports and inspection documents are needed for these titanium hemispherical heads and they will be matched to the order specification.
• Custom dimensions, finishes or assemblies for these titanium hemispherical heads are quoted after the drawing and operating conditions have been reviewed.

Request a Quotation
