Ladhani Metal Corporation offers U-Bend Half-Round Tube Shields, specially designed to protect U-bend sections of boiler tubes in power plants, waste heat recovery boilers (WHRBs), heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and industrial steam systems. U-bend areas are highly susceptible to erosion, flue gas impingement, and abrasive wear caused by high-velocity gases and ash particles. These shields provide durable protection, reducing tube thinning, failure risks, and extending the operational lifespan of the boiler tubes. Function of U-Bend Sections • Carry water or steam through tight-radius bends in boiler heating circuits • Exposed to flue gas turbulence, high temperatures, and particle erosion • Protected with Half-Round Shields to minimize erosion and wear at bends Ladhani Metal Corporation manufactures, supplies, and exports U-Bend Half-Round Tube Shields in customized lengths, radii, and thicknesses, ensuring precision fitment for various boiler tube configurations. Available Grades • SS 304 / SS 304L • SS 310 / SS 310S • SS 316 / SS 316L • SS 410 / SS 420 / SS 430 • Cr25Ni20 / Cr23Ni13 • 1Cr13 / 1Cr18Ni9Ti / 1Cr20Ni14Si2 / 1Cr25Ni20Si2 Applications: Suitable for U-bend sections in boilers operating under high thermal stress, oxidation-prone environments, and abrasive gas flows. Widely used in utility boilers, WHRBs, HRSGs, and industrial steam generators. Uses • Shields U-bend tube areas from flue gas erosion and soot blower impact • Reduces tube wall thinning and premature failures in bends • Ensures reliability of boiler heating circuits under harsh conditions • Extends service life of reheater, superheater, and economizer sections Features • Excellent resistance to erosion and oxidation • Available in multiple stainless steel grades and heat-resistant alloys • High thermal stability in elevated-temperature environments • Precision-engineered to match U-bend geometry for easy installation Applications • Power plant boilers – Protection of U-bends in reheater and superheater tubes • Waste heat recovery boilers – Guards tight-radius bends against particle erosion • HRSGs – Extends service life of critical tube sections • Petrochemical and industrial steam boilers – Reliable in fluctuating thermal cycles Conclusion The U-Bend Half-Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation is a reliable solution for safeguarding boiler tube bends against erosion, oxidation, and thermal stress. Available in a wide range of stainless steels and heat-resistant alloys, these shields are manufactured with precision to meet domestic and international standards.
