Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are precision-fabricated protective components used to extend the life of boiler, superheater, and heat exchanger tubes exposed to extreme heat, flue gas erosion, scaling, and corrosive environments. These shields are installed on curved or straight sections of tubes, helping to prevent mechanical wear and oxidation damage while ensuring reliable performance in thermal power, petrochemical, and industrial heat recovery systems. The half-round structure offers a secure fit and easy installation, eliminating the need for system disassembly. SS 310 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield The SS 310 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield is made from high-temperature austenitic stainless steel grade 310, which contains elevated levels of chromium and nickel. This alloy provides excellent resistance to oxidation, scaling, and thermal fatigue at service temperatures up to 1100°C. The inner U-type configuration is specifically designed to shield the inner curvature of U-bend tubes, which are susceptible to accelerated degradation due to turbulence, corrosive combustion gases, and localized heat concentration. • Inner U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Covers the inside arc of U-bend tubes, offering robust protection against turbulent flow erosion, slag buildup, and high-temperature scaling. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of SS 310 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shields, offering custom-built solutions for high-temperature tube protection in demanding process and energy systems. Chemical Composition of SS 310 – Austenitic High-Temperature Stainless Steel • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.25% • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00% • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045% • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.50% • Chromium (Cr): 24.0 – 26.0% • Nickel (Ni): 19.0 – 22.0% • Iron (Fe): Balance Applications: Ideal for high-temperature and oxidizing environments such as boilers, reformers, kilns, and heat exchangers where scaling, corrosion, and thermal stress are prevalent. Uses • Installed on inner arcs of U-bend tubes in power plant superheaters and reheaters exposed to extreme temperatures • Applied in return bends of steam reformers and heat exchangers handling oxidizing and acidic gases • Shields inner curves in waste heat recovery boilers (WHRBs) and heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) • Used in chemical process units, incinerators, and high-temperature furnace systems • Suitable for curved tube coils in metallurgical, cement, and process gas heating applications Features • Excellent oxidation resistance – Performs at temperatures up to 1100°C without significant scaling • Inner arc protection – Guards against erosion and heat damage caused by turbulent flue gas flow • High structural stability – Maintains strength and surface integrity under thermal cycling and load conditions • Precision fit – Custom-engineered to match tube diameter and bend radius for secure, long-lasting placement • Easy installation – Can be attached using stainless bands, clamps, or tack welding methods • Extended service life – Minimizes tube replacement and reduces maintenance frequency in high-heat systems Applications • thermal and power plants – Protects U-bend tubes in superheaters from flame impingement and slag attack • petrochemical industries – Shields return bends in reformers and exchangers from high-temperature gas streams • waste heat recovery – Used in WHRBs and HRSGs to defend tube bends from scaling and erosion • high-temperature process plants – Provides inner arc coverage in systems handling oxidizing combustion byproducts • furnace systems – Installed in curved tube coils subjected to high radiant heat and thermal cycling Conclusion The SS 310 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation – manufacturer, supplier, and exporter – is a high-performance shielding solution for protecting the inner bend of tubes operating under intense heat and oxidation stress. Designed for precise fitment and long-term durability, this shield is ideal for boilers, reformers, and heat exchangers in power generation, petrochemical, and industrial heating systems.
