FINNED TUBE

We manufacture Welded and Applied Fin Tubes in large-scale with excellent ability to manufacture high-specification tube from 15.88mm to 219mm Diameter.

Typical examples of applications where finned tubes are used include the following:

  • A wide variety of economizers and waste heat recovery units to utilize heat from boiler flue gas, gas turbine exhaust, incinerators, etc.
  • Glycol dehydration units
  • Fired heaters, such as LNG vaporizers, air pre-heaters, oil heaters, etc.
  • Asphalt tank heaters
  • Air coolers, such as compressor jacket water and lube oil coolers
  • Lumber drying kilns, and similar applications
  • Livestock enclosure and greenhouse heaters

Finned tubes are used in applications involving the transfer of heat from a hot fluid to a colder fluid through a tube wall. The rate at which such heat transfer can occur depends on three factors: (1) the temperature difference between the two fluids; (2) the heat transfer coefficient between each of the fluids and the tube wall; and (3) the surface area to which each fluid is exposed. In the case of a bare (unfinned) tubes, where the outside surface area is not significantly greater than the inside surface area, the fluid with the lowest heat transfer coefficient will dictate the overall heat transfer rate. When the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid inside the tube is several times larger than that of fluid outside the tube (for example steam inside and oil outside), the overall heat transfer rate can be greatly improved by increasing the outside surface of the tube. In mathematical terms, the product of heat transfer coefficient for the outside fluid multiplied by the outside surface area is made to more closely match the product of the inside fluid heat transfer coefficient multiplied by the inside surface area.

By increasing the outside surface area of the tube, the overall heat transfer rate is increased, thereby reducing the total number of tubes required for a given application. This reduces the overall equipment size and the cost of the project. In many cases, one finned tube replaces six or more bare tubes at less than 1/3 the cost and ¼ the volume.

Our mission is to exceed customer expectations -We consider no job too small or too large – every job is valued and treated with the same respect. and we are dedicated to achieving this through ongoing review of process and systems. Our reputation is built on close working relationships with clients across the world, understanding their specific requirements and ensuring that we delivery of quality-controlled product on time, every time.

Extruded Finned Tube

This fin type is formed from a bi-metallic tube consisting of an aluminium outer tube and an inner tube of almost any material. The fin is formed by rolling material from the outside of the exterior tube to give an integral fin with excellent heat transfer properties and longevity. Extruded fin offers excellent corrosion protection of the base tube.Maximum working temperature: 545°F(285°C)Fin Materials: Aluminium

L Finned Tube

The strip material is subjected to controlled deformation under tension giving the optimum contact pressure of the foot of the fin  onto the base tube thus maximising the heat transfer properties. The foot of the fin considerably enhances the corrosion protection of the base tube.
Maximum Working Temperature: 150℃
Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance: Acceptable
Mechnical Resistance: Poor
Fin Materials: Aluminum, Copper
Tube Materials: No  limits.

“G” Embedded Finned Tube

(Embedded Fin)The fin strip is wound into a machined groove and securely locked into place by back filling with base tube material. This ensures that maximum heat transfer is maintained at high tube metal temperatures.
Maximum Working Temperature: 450℃
Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance: Poor
Mechnical Resistance: Acceptable
Fin Materials: Aluminum, Copper, Carbon Steel
Tube Materials:No  limits.

KL Finned Tube

Manufactured exactly as the ‘L’ fin except that the base tube is knurled before application of the fin foot. After application the fin foot is knurled into the corresponding knurling on the base tube thereby enhancing the bond between the fin and tube resulting in improved heat transfer characteristics.

Maximum Working Temperature: 260℃
Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance: Acceptable
Mechnical Resistance: Acceptable
Fin Materials: Aluminum, Copper
Tube Materials: No limits.

LL Finned Tube

Manufactured in the same way as the ‘L’ fin type except that the fin foot is overlapped to completely enclose the base tube thereby giving excellent corrosion resistance. This type of tube is often used as an alternative to the more expensive extruded type fin in corrosive environments.
Maximum Working Temperature: 180℃
Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance: Acceptable
Mechnical Resistance: Poor
Fin Materials: Aluminum, Copper
Tube Materials: No  limits.

2.Production Technique & Applications
High frequency welded spiral finned tube is one of the most widely used finned tubes. It is a plain type fin, made by helically winding the fin strip on edge around the tube. The fin is continuously welded to the tube by a high frequency electrical resistance welding process which leaves the tube essentially unchanged metallurgically. The width of the weld is always greater than 90 percent of the thickness of the fin, assuring a strong bond between the fin and the tube for efficient heat transfer and long life. Solid fins are preferred in fouling applications. The finished finned tube is extremely strong mechanically and has greater resistance to bursting pressure than the bare tube due to the reinforcing effect of the fin. Because of its excellent strength and resistance to deformation, this tubes are well suited for applications where severe abuse is expected in service.
Our Welded Helical finned tubes consist of steel fins wrapped helically around steel pipe, and continuously welded using the GMAW process. The fins may be either solid or serrated.
For Welded Helical Solid and Welded Helical Serrated finned tubes, the fin and tube materials can be any combination that can be welded together using the GMAW (gas-metal-arc-welding) process.
For Welded Longitudinal finned tubes, the fin and tube materials can be any combination that can be resistance welded together.
