Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are precision-formed protective components used to shield exposed tubes in boilers, heat exchangers, and high-temperature piping systems. Designed to withstand harsh environments, they provide long-term protection against corrosion, erosion, and thermal damage, significantly improving the operational life and reliability of industrial systems. SS 316 Half Round Tube Shield The SS 316 Half Round Tube Shield is a semi-cylindrical cover made from austenitic stainless steel grade 316. Known for its superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, SS 316 is especially effective in chloride-rich environments such as marine, chemical, and coastal processing industries. The shield is engineered to fit over existing tubes, acting as a barrier against high-temperature gases, steam erosion, and corrosive media. Its molybdenum-enriched composition enhances pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, making it ideal for aggressive applications. Chemical Composition of SS 316 – Austenitic Stainless Steel • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08% • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00% • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045% • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.00% • Chromium (Cr): 16.0 – 18.0% • Nickel (Ni): 10.0 – 14.0% • Molybdenum (Mo): 2.0 – 3.0% • Iron (Fe): Balance Uses • Boiler Tube Protection – Provides a robust shield against corrosive flue gases, preventing tube thinning and extending service intervals in industrial boilers. • Heat Exchanger Tube Protection – Reduces erosion and scaling in process systems exposed to fluctuating temperatures and aggressive fluids. • Marine and Coastal Applications – Ideal for protecting piping and steam lines in saltwater environments where chloride-induced corrosion is a major concern. • Chemical Process Tubing – Shields tubes exposed to acidic or caustic compounds, minimizing localized corrosion and chemical wear. • Pharmaceutical and Food Plants – Protects steam and utility tubes while maintaining hygiene and resistance to cleaning agents and sanitizers. Features • Excellent Corrosion Resistance – Molybdenum addition enhances resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chemical attack. • High Strength and Durability – Withstands mechanical stress and thermal cycling without deformation or degradation. • Precision Fit – Half-round profile allows easy installation and secure fitting over tubes with minimal disruption to system performance. • Hygienic Material – Non-reactive and easy to clean, suitable for environments requiring sanitary conditions. • Customizable – Available in a variety of wall thicknesses, diameters, lengths, and mounting styles to meet specific operational needs. • Optional Finishes – Pickled, passivated, and bright annealed surface finishes available for improved appearance and added protection. Applications • Power Generation Boilers – Used in high-pressure steam systems to shield tubes from gas erosion and oxidation. • Chemical Processing Units – Protects tubes in acidic, alkaline, and oxidizing environments across chemical plants and refineries. • Marine Boilers and Engines – Installed on tubes and exhaust lines in marine vessels to resist chloride-induced corrosion. • Pharmaceutical Facilities – Suitable for clean steam systems and sterile environments requiring high resistance to chemical sanitizers. • Food and Beverage Industry – Used in pasteurization, CIP lines, and steam piping where corrosion resistance and cleanliness are essential. • Desalination Plants – Guards tubing systems in brine and saltwater processing units against aggressive corrosion and scaling. Conclusion The SS 316 Half Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation is an advanced protective solution for critical tubing systems operating in corrosive and high-temperature environments. Its enhanced chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and adaptability to sanitary and marine conditions make it an ideal choice for industries requiring long-term reliability and safety. Designed with precision and manufactured to meet strict industrial standards, these shields ensure prolonged tube life, reduced downtime, and improved system performance.
