Why Choose TCI for Your Tank Head Manufacturing Needs

ASME Certification and Industry Expertise

As an ASME-certified manufacturer, we adhere to the highest standards for pressure vessel component fabrication. We work closely with clients to ensure every custom tank head we produce meets both industry regulations and your specific operational requirements.

Extensive Material Capabilities

We fabricate tank heads from an impressive range of materials to suit diverse industrial environments. Our material offerings include premium stainless steel grades, aluminum, copper, and specialized exotic alloys such as Hastelloy®, AL6XN, Duplex 2205, and Inconel®. This versatility ensures optimal performance whether you need corrosion resistance, high-temperature capability, or specialized chemical compatibility.

Comprehensive Size and Thickness Options

Our manufacturing capabilities span a remarkable range of dimensions. We produce tank heads with diameters from 9 inches up to 130 inches, accommodating vessels of nearly any size. Material thickness options range from 14 gauge to ½ inch plate, with specific configurations supporting even thicker materials based on certain requirements. All tank heads can be manufactured to either inside diameter (ID) or outside diameter (OD) specifications, providing the flexibility to match your vessel design requirements precisely.

Superior Surface Finishing

We maintain state-of-the-art polishing equipment that delivers industry-leading mechanical polish quality. All tank heads can be polished inside and outside from 80 grit to 320 grit, achieving surface finishes of 5-10 Ra. This exceptional polish quality is critical for pharmaceutical, biotech, and food-grade applications where surface cleanliness directly impacts product purity.

Our Value-Added Manufacturing Services

Precision Waterjet Cutting

Our automated waterjet cutting system uses customer-supplied AutoCAD drawings and SURFCAM software to achieve precise hole placement without manual layout. Holes can be cut at any angle in any shape to accommodate welded fittings perfectly. This precision eliminates gaps that can cause fitting movement or distortion during welding, ensuring consistent quality across multiple heads.

Custom Edge Preparation

We provide various weld preparation options including tapers, bevels, and lands. These custom edge preparations ensure optimal weld joint geometry for your specific welding processes and procedures, contributing to stronger, more reliable vessel construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ASME and non-ASME tank heads?

ASME tank heads are manufactured to meet ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements, which mandate specific dimensional ratios, material certifications, and quality control procedures. Non-ASME heads offer more flexibility in design but are intended for non-pressure or atmospheric applications.

What material should I choose for my tank head?

Material selection depends on your specific application requirements including temperature, pressure, chemical compatibility, and sanitary needs. Stainless steel grades like 304 and 316L suit most general applications, while exotic alloys like Hastelloy® or Inconel® are necessary for highly corrosive environments or extreme temperatures.

Can you manufacture tank heads with multiple penetrations?

Yes, our automated waterjet cutting system can precisely cut multiple holes at various angles to accommodate nozzles, fittings, and other penetrations according to your specifications.

What lead time should I expect for custom tank heads?

Lead times vary based on configuration complexity, material availability, and current production schedule. Contact our team for specific lead time information based on your requirements.

Do you provide material certifications?

Yes, we provide complete material certifications and documentation to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.
