Ellipsoidal heads / 2:1 elliptical heads · 椭圆形封头
Profile and terminology
An elliptical head has an elliptical crown joined to a straight flange. This profile is used as an end closure in boiler and pressure vessel designs. Ellipsoidal head is another common name for this shape.
GB/T 25198-2023 models: EHA / EHB
EHA specifies the inside diameter; EHB specifies the outside diameter. The GB/T 25198-2023 profiles shown in our inquiry tool use a 2:1 elliptical relationship. State which diameter basis your drawing uses before comparing dimensions.
What to include in your inquiry
Diameter and its inside or outside basis; nominal thickness; minimum thickness after forming if specified; straight flange length; overall depth; material grade; quantity.
Use millimetres for dimensions. Identify the exact material grade rather than only writing “steel” or “stainless steel”. You can also include edge preparation, inspection requirements, delivery needs and a drawing reference in the notes.

Drawing and design review
These descriptions identify geometry and information needed for an inquiry. They do not establish allowable pressure, certify compliance or replace a vessel design calculation. Confirm the applicable standard, drawing and final dimensions before ordering.
GB/T 25198-2023 — official standard referenceElliptical head dimensions: what to specify
Elliptical heads are also searched for as ellipsoidal heads or semi-elliptical heads. These names alone do not define a complete manufacturing drawing. State the profile ratio, diameter basis and applicable standard for your pressure vessel head.
| Diameter basis | Identify inside diameter or outside diameter. EHA and EHB use different diameter bases in the GB/T inquiry tool. |
|---|---|
| Profile and curved depth | Specify the elliptical profile ratio and curved depth shown on your drawing. |
| Straight flange and height | Distinguish the straight flange from the curved depth and overall height. |
| Formed thickness | State the nominal thickness and minimum acceptable thickness after forming. |
Can I use the same dimensions for GB/T and ASME elliptical heads?
Do not assume dimensional equivalence or certification from the name elliptical head. Provide the required standard, edition and approved drawing. The online GB/T 25198-2023 profiles are inquiry references, not an ASME design calculation.
Specify your elliptical head for manufacture
Elliptical heads are also called ellipsoidal heads. When requesting a 2:1 elliptical head, include the profile on your drawing; the product name alone does not specify the complete dimensions, tolerances or material requirements.
Carbon steel and stainless steel requirements
State the material standard and exact grade required by your project. For example, a drawing may specify Q345R or S30408. These are examples of inquiry details, not a statement of current stock. We confirm material availability and manufacturing requirements against each drawing before agreeing the order.
What determines the quotation?
Provide diameter, nominal thickness, minimum formed thickness, straight flange, quantity and delivery destination. Include edge preparation, inspection documents and any heat-treatment requirements on the drawing or in your inquiry. Price and delivery time need confirmation for the specified part; there is no single standard price for every elliptical head.
From drawing to order review
- Send the drawing revision, applicable standard, material grade and quantity.
- Confirm dimensions, tolerances, inspection scope and required documentation with the manufacturer.
- Agree the quotation, delivery requirements and final drawing before placing an order.

How do I request a quotation?
Select a profile, enter the dimensions in millimetres, specify the material grade and quantity, and add drawing or inspection requirements. Generate an inquiry item and use the email button to prepare your message.
Which material should I specify?
Provide the exact grade required by your drawing, such as Q345R or S30408, rather than only stating carbon steel or stainless steel. Material availability, forming requirements and suitability for the intended service need confirmation for each project.
Does a GB/T profile imply ASME certification?
No. The GB/T 25198-2023 diagrams describe the profiles used by this inquiry tool. If a project requires another code, provide its designation and drawing for review; no ASME certification is claimed here.
