Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are designed to protect heat exchanger, boiler, and superheater tubes from erosion, scaling, slag deposition, and corrosion under high-temperature operating conditions. These shields are widely used in industries such as power generation, petrochemical processing, waste heat recovery, and chemical manufacturing. Their half-round structure allows for quick installation over curved or straight tube sections, providing dependable protection and extending equipment lifespan without requiring major disassembly. SS 316L U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield The SS 316L U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield is fabricated from low-carbon austenitic stainless steel grade 316L. It offers superior corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-rich or acidic environments, and improved weldability with reduced risk of intergranular corrosion after welding. The inner U-type configuration is specifically engineered to shield the inner arc of U-bend tubes—an area highly vulnerable to turbulence-induced erosion, scaling, and thermal fatigue. • Inner U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Designed to protect the inner curvature of U-bend tubes from flue gas turbulence, localized corrosion, and heat-induced scaling. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of SS 316L U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shields, providing durable and customizable shielding solutions for demanding thermal and corrosive applications. Chemical Composition of SS 316L – Low Carbon Austenitic Stainless Steel • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.035% • 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 Applications: Ideal for welded systems and high-temperature environments exposed to chlorides, acidic gases, or steam, where resistance to corrosion and thermal degradation is essential. Uses • Shields inner arcs of U-bend tubes in boilers, superheaters, and reheaters operating in corrosive and high-heat zones • Installed in return bends of waste heat recovery boilers (WHRBs) and HRSGs subjected to scaling and slag formation • Used in curved tube sections of steam reformers, condensers, and marine heat exchangers • Applied in chemical and fertilizer plants with exposure to acidic, chloride-rich, or humid gases • Suitable for welded assemblies where protection against intergranular corrosion is necessary Features • Excellent corrosion resistance – Enhanced performance in acidic, chloride-laden, and high-moisture environments • Low carbon content – Minimizes risk of intergranular corrosion after welding or high-temperature service • Inner bend protection – Shields areas affected by turbulence, localized heat, and erosion • High-temperature durability – Performs reliably in oxidizing environments up to 870°C • Custom fabrication – Tailored to match specific tube diameters and bend radii for a secure, gap-free fit • Easy installation – Suitable for clamp-on, banding, or weld-on mounting without requiring full system disassembly Applications • power generation – Inner U-type shields for protecting boiler and economizer bends in thermal power stations • petrochemical facilities – Guards internal tube bends exposed to chlorides and hot process gases in reformers • waste heat recovery systems – Applied to WHRBs and HRSGs for inner arc protection from flue gas scaling • chemical processing units – Used in reactors and exchanger coils to resist chemical and thermal corrosion • marine and offshore systems – Ensures long-term durability of U-bends exposed to saltwater-laden environments Conclusion The SS 316L U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation – manufacturer, supplier, and exporter – is a reliable and corrosion-resistant protective component designed for inner arc shielding in U-bend tubes operating under harsh thermal and chemical conditions. With its superior weldability, resistance to pitting, and high-temperature strength, it is ideal for critical service in energy, chemical, and marine applications.
