TYPES OF DISHED ENDS - 2:1 Ellipsoidal Dished Ends.(Elliptical Dished Ends)




 2:1 Ellipsoidal Dished Ends.(Elliptical Dished Ends)
                   
                              This is most common used Dished End for pressure vessels. The specialty of that type of dished ends is the shape is in particular manner instead of knuckle radius etc.
                  The diagrammatic view of 2:1 Ellipsoidal Dished End shown Below,

Pic01


                           The profile or shape of that kind of dished is as per named elliptical, main terms include is S.F. (Straight Face),I.D. (Inside Diameter), Height etc.


                  The calculation part of that kind of dished end is,
               The required height of such kind of dished end is 25% of I.D. ie.
   

Crown Radius is calculated by 0.9 x I.D.

Approximate Blank Diameter calculated by the formula,
1.17 x I.D. + (2 x S.F.)
          The profile checked by of template. Generally 2:1 Ellipsoidal Dished End is extremely used in petroleum gas, unfired pressure vessels, air receivers etc. for medium pressure vessels that type of dished end is ,most economical type Dished End.

    Below shown the actual photo of 2:1 ellipsoidal dished end,

                   During inspection visual inspection and inspection of defects which open to the surface of dished end both inside and outside is checked by NDT method DP Test (Dye Penetration Test). Any defects such as any kind of arc stag,spatter scratches is required to grand properly before offer to the inspection. The Straight face as per given engineering drawing and the edge preparation of dished end required to mentain drawing.The shape of crown and knuckle area is checked with help of template. The template is required to cheeked as per layout, so overall multiple number parameters checked by inspector as per given code and standard and as per engineering drawing.
