Abstract A method of manufacturing multilayer convex collared covers and bottoms for pressure vessels by assembling a pack of circular sheet blanks in the form of a truncated cone through the placement of one blank on another. The diameter of the upper smaller blank is equal to the developed length of the inner layer of the cover or bottom, the diameter of each subsequent blank being selected so that the base angle of the truncated cone would be 40°-65°. The blanks are then in assembled pack form welded to one another along their perimeter and stamped at a temperature of 800°-1100° C. Thereafter the stamped product is machined. The cover manufactured by this method has one ring at the external side and one ring at the internal side; the rings are welded at the flat side. The ring located on the internal side of the collar is provided with a circular sealing groove.
A method of manufacturing multilayer convex collared covers and bottoms for pressure vessels including the steps of: assembling a pack of circular sheet blanks in the form of a truncated cone by placing one blank on another; forming said cone where the diameter of the upper smaller blank is equal to the developed length of the internal layer of the bottom; selecting the diameter of each subsequent blank so that the base angle of the truncated cone is equal to from 40°-65°; and welding said pack blanks one to another along their perimeter; stamping said blanks at a temperature of 800°-1100° C and preparing said blanks for further welding at surfaces to be subsequently welded.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A method according to claim 1, including the steps of: welding said circular sheet blanks one to another along their perimeter by an intermittent seam at equispaced intervals between welding spots around said blank circumference, said intervals for each seam being equal to 0.3-0.8% of said blank circumference.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
