1 Scope
This document specifies the types, type parameters and requirements for fabrication, inspection and acceptance of the heads for pressure vessels that are made of steel, non-ferrous metals (aluminium and aluminium alloys, copper and copper alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, nickel and nickel alloys, and zirconium and zirconium alloys) and clad plates.
This document is applicable to the hemispherical, ellipsoidal, dished, spherically dished, flat-bottomed and conical heads for pressure vessels that are formed by stamping, spinning and rolling or formed in flaps, with whole or spliced blank plates.
The fabrication, inspection and acceptance requirements of heads for atmospheric vessels and other pressure equipment may also refer to this document.
