What Are ASME Segmented Hemispherical Tank Heads?
ASME segmented hemispherical tank heads are created from multiple individually formed metal sections rather than a single blank. Those sections are positioned and welded together to form the finished hemispherical shape.
This production method allows Commercial Metal Forming to accommodate large or specialized dimensional requirements while retaining the geometry associated with hemispherical pressure-vessel heads. Depending on the customer’s needs, the sections may be supplied as a complete assembly or prepared for final assembly at another facility or project site.

Frequently asked questions
How are segmented hemispherical tank heads manufactured?
Individual metal sections are formed and then welded together to create a complete hemispherical shape.
What material thicknesses are available?
The supplied client information states that segmental sections are available up to 1½ inches thick from Commercial Metal Forming’s California plant.
Do segmented hemispherical heads have to be shipped fully assembled?
No. They may be supplied completely assembled, trim-fit and knocked down, or untrimmed and unassembled.
Are weld-preparation options available?
Yes. Available options include inside or outside bevels, flat lands, code joggles, various offsets and custom weld-prep configurations.
What information is needed for a quote?
Customers should provide the required diameter, material specification, thickness, quantity, assembly preference, tolerances and any trimming or weld-preparation requirements.
