ASTM A312 Heat Exchanger Studded Pipe TP304 / 304L / 316L / 317L, STUD A276 S41000

The STUDDED Fin Tube is manufactured by Resistance Welding of Studs on the Bare tubes. The fins are manufactured by welding of the Fin Material which is essential a stud or rod welded at base to the tube by Electrical Resistance Process.

The current is made to flow through the Tube and the base of the studs. The studs are specifically made in shapes to facilitate the welding process. The Stud; during the finning “welding” process is also mechanically pressed on the tube at the point of welding thence causing a very good mechanical bond. This type of Fin Tube find very good application in high pressure and high temperature applications. The mechanical bond is very strong and hence finds application in places where extreme mechanical load, stress is expected while during the process or cleaning etc.

These Fin Tubes find application in Finned Pipes, Air Coolers, Heat Exchangers etc and are preferred in Industries like Petrochemical Refineries, Power Plants, Chemical Industries, Steel Plants, etc.

HFW Solid Finned Tubes short for High Frequency Welded Helical Spiral Solid Finned Tube

Helical Finned Tubes provide the designer with high thermal efficiency and compact design solutions for a whole range of heat exchangers where clean flue gases are used. Helical finned Tubes are manufactured in both Solid and Serrated type.

Helical Solid Finned Tubes are manufacturer by helically wrapping continuous fin strip on tube. HF Resistance Welding Usually Employs Frequency Of 400 kHz. The fin wound around the tube And Continuous weld. The fin strip is wounded spirally onto the tube and welded continuously with a high frequency electrical process to the base tube along the spiral root. The fin strip held under tension and confined laterally as it is formed around the tube, thereby ensuring that the strip is in forceful contact with the base tube surface. A continuous weld is applied at the point where the fin strip first begins to bend around the tube diameter, using the gas metal arc welding process.

For a given tube or pipe size, the desired heat transfer surface area per unit length of tube can be obtained by specifying the appropriate fin height, fin thickness and /or number of fins per meter of length.

HFW Solid Finned Tube

This welded steel finned tube configuration can be used for any practically heat exchanger application, and is particularly suited to high temperature and high pressure applications. The important features of this configuration are efficient, effective bond of fin to tube under all conditions of temperature and pressure, and ability to withstand high fin-side temperatures.

A continuous helical fin is attached to the base tube by high frequency electric resistance welding in order to give an efficient and thermally reliable bond.
