Segmented Tank Heads
Brighton Tru-Edge fabricates segmented domes, hemispheres, 2:1 Elliptical, and ASME flanged & dished heads when projects call for larger pressing capacities. With most of these segmented heads, we fabricate large dollar caps and segments, our ASME welders can fully weld while meeting ASME codes and standards and enabling minimized welding while assembling in the field.
Hemispherical Heads
Hemispherical (hemi) heads are the strongest of the formed heads. They can resist about twice the pressure of an elliptical dished head or cylindrical shell of the same thickness and diameter. Because of their strength and resistance, these tank heads are widely used for the storage of liquids and gasses under pressure.
A hemi-head is frequently employed in large-diameter or high-pressure applications when space is limited. A storage sphere is formed by putting two spherical heads back to back, which is the most efficient shape for pressurized storage.
