    Leaving Bradford after a long day there, Baloo noticed a largish factory apparently manufacturing 'dished ends'. What the heck are dished ends?

    		Purdie -- Founded in 1988 and renamed "Purdie Dished Ends" in 2000, the company offers the largest range of cold formed dished ends in the UK. It aims to continually improve its response time aswell as the quality and range of services it offers customers. We are based in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

    Vessel dished ends are mostly used in storage or pressure vessels in industry. These ends, which in upright vessels are the bottom and the top, use less space than a hemisphere (which is the ideal form for pressure containments) while requiring only a slightly thicker wall.

    The manufacturing of such an end is easier than that of a hemisphere. The starting material is first pressed to a radius r1 and then curled at the edge creating the second radius r2. Vessel dished ends can also be welded together from smaller pieces.

    Purdie Dished Ends Ltd are a custom and precision metal spinning company in the UK with engineering plants in Yorkshire and the Midlands. They supply dished ends for industry.
