What are the uses of the head

The head has a wide range of applications in multiple industries, mainly including the following aspects:

Pressure vessels: In pressure vessels such as storage tanks, heat exchangers, synthesis towers, reaction vessels, and boilers, the head is used to seal the end of the vessel, forming a sealed space together with the vessel cylinder to withstand the pressure and medium inside the vessel. It is an important pressure bearing component of pressure vessels.

Pipeline system: In some special pipeline systems, the head can be used to seal the end of the pipeline, playing a role in blocking and sealing, preventing medium leakage inside the pipeline. For example, in some pipeline ends that do not require further connection or extension, a head will be installed to seal them.

Pressure pipeline component: As a type of pressure pipeline component, after the head is connected to the pipeline, the direction of the pipeline can be changed or used for end closure of the pipeline system, so that the pipeline system can adapt to different layouts and process requirements.

Equipment components: In some chemical equipment, food processing equipment, pharmaceutical equipment, etc., the head is often used as a component of the equipment to construct the specific shape and space of the equipment, meeting the requirements of material storage, reaction, separation and other operations in the process. For example, some stirred tanks may adopt a head structure at the top or bottom.

Construction industry: In building structures, heads also have definite applications. For example, in some large building ventilation duct systems, drainage systems, etc., heads can be used to seal the ends of pipes or for connecting and sealing special areas to confirm the normal operation of the system.
