T13237 Carbon Steel Longitudinal Finned Tube Pipe Heat Transfer Custom

Longitudinal finned tubes are produced by resistance welding fins along the long direction of the tube. The fins first form a U-shaped channel so that each leg of the U-shape forms a fin. The channel is cut to the appropriate length, then oriented along the length of the tube and resistance welded in place. The channels are pairs of soldered, diametrically opposed, so the number of fins specified must be a multiple of four.

Carbon/alloy steel (A106, A333, A179, A335 P5, P22, P9), stainless steel (TP304, TP316L, TP321), copper alloy (CuNi 70/30, CuNi 90/10), and other materials.

Carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, copper alloy, etc.
