Expertise In Dished End Manufacture
With a legacy dating back to 1948, Australian Pressure Vessel Heads have a wealth of experience and expertise in dished ends manufacturing.
Over the years, we have encountered a wide range of applications, making us well-equipped to offer advice on specific designs and applications that you may have in mind. Our dished ends are hot pressed and formed using advanced techniques, ensuring quality that exceeds industry standards.
Hot Pressing Dished Ends For Strength
Our manufacturing process involves hot pressing within the material's normalising temperature range. This method prevents materials from strain hardening at high temperatures, resulting in a combination of benefits.
The hot pressing approach ensures the highest quality yield strength and minimises the likelihood of stress on the product, guaranteeing a reliable and long-lasting solution.
Wide Range Of Dished Ends
Our capabilities encompass the manufacturing of torispherical, semi-ellipsoidal, butt weld caps, hemispherical, and toriconical dished ends, all proudly using Australian steel. We understand the significance of Australian-made materials, reflecting our dedication to supporting local industries and maintaining superior quality in our products.
We have the capacity to manufacture dished ends up to 2.8 meters in diameter, with material thickness ranging from 5mm to 100mm.
