Manways FAQ
What engineers ask before they specify this category.
Which manway shape should I choose
Round is the strongest for pressure duty. Oval fits where the shell has limited flat area and still gives a usable opening. Square suits atmospheric tanks where a wide opening matters more than pressure rating. Tell us the vessel pressure and wall curvature and we will recommend one.
Can a manway be pressure rated
Yes, our pressure manways are built for pressurised vessels. Give the design pressure and temperature of the tank and we will confirm which body and closure suit before quoting.
Can I have a sight glass in the cover
Yes, there are versions with a round sight glass in the cover so the vessel can be observed without opening it.
