Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are precision-formed protective components used to shield boiler tubes, superheaters, and heat exchangers from erosion, scaling, ash impact, and corrosion. Commonly applied in power plants, waste heat recovery units, and industrial heating systems, these shields help prolong tube service life and maintain consistent thermal performance. Their half-round design ensures easy installation over exposed tube surfaces and provides dependable coverage in harsh gas flow zones. SS 310 Half Round Tube Shield for LTSH Tube The SS 310 Half Round Tube Shield is fabricated from high-temperature austenitic stainless steel grade 310. Known for its high chromium and nickel content, SS 310 offers excellent oxidation resistance, superior thermal stability, and strength under prolonged heat exposure. This makes it ideal for Low Temperature Superheater (LTSH) applications, where tubes are vulnerable to erosion, ash buildup, and gas-phase corrosion. The shield is precisely shaped to match the outer curvature of LTSH tubes, enabling effective surface protection in relatively low-temperature flue gas environments. The Low Temperature Superheater (LTSH) is a section in a boiler where saturated steam from the steam drum is superheated to a moderately higher temperature before entering the high-temperature superheater stages. Positioned in areas with relatively lower flue gas temperatures, the LTSH helps improve thermal efficiency and reduces moisture content in steam. Due to constant exposure to abrasive flue gases and ash, LTSH tubes are prone to wear and require protective shielding, such as half round tube shields, to extend service life. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of SS 310 Half Round Tube Shields for LTSH tubes, offering high-performance protection in demanding thermal conditions. Chemical Composition of SS 310 – Austenitic 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: Designed for low-temperature superheater zones and other areas with moderate heat and flue gas exposure, where oxidation resistance and strength are required.
