CONICAL DISH HEADS

A conical dish head, also known as a conical head or cone-shaped end, is a specialized component used in pressure vessels and tanks. It is designed with a conical shape that tapers to a point. This type of dish head is commonly used when there is a need for a smooth transition from the cylindrical body of the vessel to a smaller diameter or outlet.

The fabrication process for conical dish heads involves several key steps. The first step is material selection, where factors such as pressure rating, temperature, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with the stored fluid or gas are considered. Common materials used for conical dish heads include carbon steel, stainless steel, and various alloys.
