Specification basis: The schedule below distinguishes industry geometry from order-specific requirements. Final dimensions, performance and price are defined in the approved quotation and drawing. Photographs identify the product family.
What is a conical tank head?
A conical tank head provides a tapered end profile that can support a discharge, collection or transition arrangement. Its geometry is defined by the cone angle, main diameter, height and any outlet or knuckle detail.

Key dimensions and installation fit
A conical head is specified by its end diameters, cone angle, axial length and transition details. Half-angle and included angle are different dimensions. The permitted geometry, minimum thickness and any knuckle reinforcement follow the vessel design. Compare related configurations: elliptical tank head, tank head with central opening.
How to specify the conical tank head
Specify the included angle or half-angle clearly, together with the diameter and height convention. Identify the outlet diameter, neck length and whether the shell transition is a sharp junction or a formed knuckle. The cone geometry must follow the service and vessel design.
State whether the vessel interface uses inside or outside diameter. Define crown shape, dish depth, straight flange, wall thickness and edge preparation independently. Vessel pressure, temperature, vacuum, corrosion allowance, forming thinning and openings affect the final design; shape dimensions alone do not give a working-pressure rating.
Technical data for the conical tank head
| Shape | Cone or conical frustum to drawing |
|---|---|
| End diameters | Specify both ends and diameter basis |
| Cone angle | State half-angle or included angle explicitly |
| Knuckles and straight flanges | Defined separately at each end |
| Diameter basis | State inside or outside diameter explicitly |
| Thickness | Minimum finished thickness to design; forming allowance separate |
| Material | Exact grade and supplied condition to the vessel specification |
| Edge preparation | Bevel, root face and fit-up to the joint drawing |
| Inspection | Profile, ovality, minimum wall and agreed examination |
Sizes and dimensional requirements
Use the named standard for standardized interfaces and the controlled drawing for custom dimensions. Confirm units, diameter datums, minimum finished thickness and any mating-component requirements. A catalogue dimension is not a universal tolerance, capacity or pressure rating.
Dimensions and tolerance schedule
| Individually toleranced features | Limits and datum system on the approved drawing |
|---|---|
| General tolerances | Standard, edition and class apply only when specified |
| Formed-head acceptance | Profile, ovality and minimum finished wall to vessel specification |
Individually toleranced dimensions and functional requirements take precedence over a general tolerance note. Specify the governing standard and acceptance method in the order documents; a tolerance shown by another manufacturer does not establish JINYI manufacturing capability.

Materials, inspection and documentation
Inspect the interface diameter, profile, dish depth, straight flange and minimum finished wall thickness against the vessel drawing. Check openings and edge preparation separately. Specify material traceability, forming records and examination where required. Keep the design code and drawing revision with the ordered component.
State the exact material designation and supplied condition, the controlled drawing revision and the required inspection reports before ordering. Separate material certification from dimensional checks and functional or pressure testing. Agree the acceptance limits for the ordered component and identify any additional witnessing, marking or packing requirements. Use technical help to prepare the drawing, material and inspection questions for review. Use the custom manufacturing and OEM guidance to define the drawing, material and inspection scope.
Installation and handling guidance
Orient the outlet and any other openings from the drawing datums. Check the cone-shell fit and the discharge connection before welding. Support the part during assembly so its circular edge does not distort under its own weight or handling loads.
Where the conical tank head is used
- Tank fabrication. Drawing-defined ends and covers matched to the shell interface.
- Vessel manufacture. Formed components selected through the complete vessel design.
- Equipment repairs. Replacement geometry, openings and edge details checked against the existing assembly.
How to order a conical tank head
Send the required configuration, material, quantity, destination and controlled drawing to JINYI. Identify changed dimensions, mating components, operating conditions and inspection scope. For a repeat order, include the previous approved revision and state any changes. The final quotation defines the supplied geometry, documentation, price and delivery terms.

Conical Tank Head selection and quotation checklist
The cone connects its large and small ends through the specified angle. Provide both diameters, axial height and flange details, with nozzle openings defined separately. Use the photographed product form to identify the arrangement, then use the controlled drawing to define what will be supplied. Similar-looking components can have different end details, load paths or maintenance requirements.
Conical Tank Head dimensions and tolerances
The first comparison for this conical tank head is cone angle and end diameters. Mark the dimensions that control mating, alignment and installation space on the enquiry drawing. Give units for every value and identify the datum from which it is measured. If a dimension is critical, specify its individual tolerance and measurement method rather than relying on a general tolerance note.
A conical head is specified by its end diameters, cone angle, axial length and transition details. Half-angle and included angle are different dimensions. The permitted geometry, minimum thickness and any knuckle reinforcement follow the vessel design. Review the selection schedule together with the final drawing and inspection requirements.
Prepare the material and interface information
For a conical tank head enquiry, identify the required material designation and supplied condition. Describe the mating components, attachment method and environment. Include the operating temperature and any relevant pressure, movement or structural load. These inputs should describe the actual installation, including changes between normal operation, start-up and maintenance where applicable.
Specify coatings, surface finish and marking separately from the base material. If traceability is needed, identify the record required and how it must correspond to the delivered component. Agree whether inspection covers dimensions, material documentation, welds or functional testing; these are different checks with different acceptance criteria.
Custom conical tank head quotation
Attach the latest drawing revision, required quantity and delivery destination when contacting JINYI. Highlight departures from the illustrated arrangement, including changed dimensions, connections, finish and packing. For repeat orders, reference the approved configuration and list changes explicitly so an earlier drawing is not assumed to remain current.
Compare quotations using the same geometry, grade, supplied condition, unit of supply and inspection scope. A piece, a segment and a complete assembly can represent different quantities. Confirm quantity discounts and delivery terms with the final quotation.

Questions to resolve before ordering
Which dimensions need checking first?
Start with cone angle and end diameters and the mating or mounting detail. Check nominal designations against measured dimensions, then review the installation envelope. Photographs help identify the form; the drawing provides the dimensional basis for acceptance.
What should the quotation include?
A conical tank head quotation should identify the configuration, drawing revision, material, quantity, price basis and agreed inspection records. Keep these details together with the approved order so receiving inspection can compare the delivered product with the specified component.
