Dishend," also known as a "dished end" or "dish head," refers to a type of end closure or cap that is used to seal the open end of a cylindrical vessel such as a pressure vessel, storage tank, or pipe. It is commonly used in various industries, including engineering, manufacturing, and construction.
A dish end is typically curved or domed in shape, resembling the shape of a dish or bowl, hence the name. The curvature helps distribute stress more evenly, making it suitable for containing pressurised substances.
Versatility: Dish ends are widely used across industries like engineering, manufacturing, and construction. They serve as end closures for pressure vessels, storage tanks, and pipelines, providing strength and durability under various pressure conditions.
Availability: Dish ends are available in different shapes (torispherical, ellipsoidal, and hemispherical) and materials (steel, stainless steel, carbon steel), customisable to suit specific industrial needs.
Pressure Vessels: Seal containers for pressurised substances.
Storage Tanks: Secure ends for liquid or gas storage.
Pipes: End caps in piping systems.
