ASME High Crown Tank Heads
A deeper head profile designed to provide increased pressure resistance for ASME pressure vessel applications.
When pressure demands exceed what a standard flanged and dished head can provide, a high crown design offers an effective alternative. Commercial Metal Forming manufactures ASME high crown tank heads in a wide range of diameters, thicknesses, and materials, helping fabricators and OEMs meet pressure vessel requirements while maintaining ASME code compliance.

What are ASME High Crown Tank Heads?
ASME high crown tank heads are a variation of the traditional flanged and dished head, featuring a deeper dish profile that improves resistance to internal pressure.
Because of this geometry, engineers often specify high crown heads when pressure requirements exceed those of a standard flanged and dished design while still requiring an ASME-compliant solution. They provide a practical balance between strength, manufacturability, and code compliance for a wide range of pressure vessel applications.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a high crown tank head and a standard flanged and dished head?
A high crown tank head features a deeper dish than a standard flanged and dished head. This geometry provides greater resistance to internal pressure, making it a preferred option for certain pressure vessel applications.
What materials are available?
