What is Tank head

It refers to the part used for the seal the end of the tank truck.The head of a cylinder is generally a revolving shell. According to the shape of the head surface, it can be divided into convex, cone, flat and combined shapes. It is connected to the cylinder by welding. The tank head is an indispensable and important part of pressure vessel equipment in many industries such as petrochemical, atomic energy, pharmaceutical industry,etc.

The function of aluminum head plate

The tank head is the end cap on the pressure vessel and is a main pressure-bearing part of the pressure vessel.Its role is for the sealing effect. After the tanker head is welded, it cannot be disassembled. The quality of the aluminum head plate is directly related to the long-term safe and reliable operation of the tank truck.

The manufacturing of tank head

The tank head needs to resist the impact of oil on both sides of the tank body during vehicle transportation, therefore the tanker head is 1mm thicker than the cylinder. The aluminum plate for tank head is generally 7 mm thick.

The production of the tanker head needs to be cut into a circular shape by a cutting machine. Since the head and the cylinder are connected by double-sided welding, the shape and size of the two must be able to match. The requirements for the tank head are relatively high.
