ASTM A516 GR.70 ELLIPTICAL HEAD
Product Overview

The ASTM A516 Gr.70 Elliptical Head is a formed pressure vessel closure engineered for moderate- and lower-temperature service applications. Manufactured from carbon steel pressure vessel plate, this 2:1 semi-ellipsoidal head delivers uniform stress distribution through its continuous curvature transition from the dish to the straight flange, minimizing discontinuity stresses at the shell junction.

Yuhong Group Co., Ltd. supplies this component to the oil, gas, chemical, petrochemical, heat exchanger, and boiler industries, with comprehensive supporting capabilities for tube bundles, U-tubes, heat exchanger tubes, finned tubes, tubesheets, baffles, and other pressure vessel components.

Manufacturing Requirements & Testing Protocols
Forming & Heat Treatment Considerations

The elliptical head requires precise hot or cold forming processes, with thickness reduction (thinning rate) as a critical control parameter. For hot-formed heads, thermal contraction after forming directly affects the final inner diameter—studies indicate contraction can reach approximately 6mm on a 1200mm diameter head, necessitating dimensional compensation in die design. The maximum allowable thinning rate per industry practice is 10%.

Mandatory Testing Regimen
Test Method Application
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Lamination detection in raw plate material
Radiographic Testing (RT) 100% weld seam examination (for segmented heads)
Liquid Penetrant Examination (PT) Surface defect detection after forming
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) Ferromagnetic material surface/crack detection
Dimensional Inspection Inner diameter tolerance, roundness, straight flange height, and overall depth verification

Third-party inspection services (ABS, GL, DNV, PED, CCS) available per project requirements.

Technical Advantages
  • Uniform Stress Distribution: The 2:1 elliptical geometry provides the optimal balance between stress concentration and material thickness efficiency, with continuous curvature eliminating sharp stress risers found in torispherical designs.
  • Material Toughness: ASTM A516 Gr.70 delivers guaranteed notch toughness for moderate- and lower-temperature services, with specified Charpy V-notch impact properties.
  • Cost Efficiency: Elliptical head height equals one-quarter of the vessel diameter, reducing material consumption compared to hemispherical heads while maintaining adequate pressure capability for medium-pressure applications.
 
FAQ / Technical Insights
Q1: What is the difference between ASTM A516 Gr.70 and ASME SA516 Gr.70?

The mechanical and chemical properties are identical. ASME "acquires" ASTM specifications and assigns an "S" prefix (A516 becomes SA516) for use in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code construction.

Q2: When is preheating required for A516 Gr.70?

For electric arc welding of thicker plates (typically >25mm), preheating may be necessary due to the higher carbon content (up to 0.28%) of Grade 70 compared to lower grades.

Q3: Why is the 2:1 elliptical head the most common pressure vessel closure?

It provides the optimal balance—lower stress concentration than torispherical heads, less material than hemispherical heads, and continuity of curvature that minimizes edge discontinuity stresses at the shell junction.
