U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield
Half Round Tube Shield
Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are designed to protect boiler coils, heat exchanger tubes, and superheaters from erosion, scaling, slag deposition, and high-temperature damage. These shields are used extensively in thermal power plants, waste heat recovery systems, and process industries to extend tube life, reduce maintenance costs, and maintain thermal efficiency. Their semi-cylindrical design allows for easy and secure installation over straight or curved tube surfaces.
1Cr13 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield
The 1Cr13 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield is fabricated from martensitic stainless steel 1Cr13, offering good mechanical strength, moderate corrosion resistance, and excellent wear resistance. This grade performs well in thermal systems subject to moderate chemical exposure and mechanical erosion. The inner U-type configuration is engineered to shield the inner arc of U-bend tubes, where turbulent flow, thermal cycling, and slag buildup are most intense and damaging.
• Inner U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Covers the internal curvature of U-bend tubes, protecting against erosion, slag impact, and thermal degradation in high-flow areas.
Ladhani Metal Corporation is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of 1Cr13 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shields, offering durable and cost-effective solutions for general-purpose heat protection in industrial systems.
