Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are precision-engineered protective sleeves designed to prevent wear, oxidation, and erosion of boiler and heat exchanger tubes. These shields enhance the durability and reliability of tubing systems exposed to high temperatures, flue gases, and mechanical abrasion. Their half-round structure allows easy installation and targeted protection without disrupting the tube layout. SS 310S U Type Half Round Tube Shield The SS 310S U Type Half Round Tube Shield is specifically designed for protecting curved (U-bend) and adjoining straight sections of tubes in boilers, superheaters, and heat exchangers. Made from SS 310S, a low-carbon variation of stainless steel 310, this shield offers superior resistance to high-temperature oxidation and intergranular corrosion, especially in welded structures. The U-shaped profile ensures a snug fit over return bends, where thermal fatigue and erosion are most severe. Shields are available in both inner and outer U configurations to provide full protection. • Outer U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Covers the external curvature of U-bend tubes, shielding against heat, slag, and gas erosion. • Inner U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Protects the internal arc of the bend from turbulence, hot spots, and corrosive attack. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a reputed manufacturer and exporter of SS 310S U Type Half Round Tube Shields, offering reliable tube protection solutions tailored to industry-specific needs. Chemical Composition of SS 310S – Low Carbon Austenitic Stainless Steel • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08% • 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: Well-suited for high-temperature operations involving welding or thermal cycling where resistance to oxidation and intergranular corrosion is critical. Uses • U-bend protection in superheater and reheater coil loops • Furnace coil shielding in petrochemical and refining systems • High-temperature tube bend coverage in WHRBs and HRSGs • Erosion protection for tube bends in steam reformers and reactors • Surface preservation in boilers, incinerators, and cement kilns Features • High-temperature performance – Made from SS 310S, offering excellent resistance to oxidation, scaling, and thermal corrosion in environments up to 1100°C. • Low carbon advantage – Reduced carbon content minimizes the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding, ideal for high-temperature welded structures. • Complete U-bend protection – Available in inner and outer U-type configurations to shield both sides of the tube bend from erosion and heat damage. • Accurate fitment – Custom-formed to the exact tube radius and diameter for a snug, secure fit that resists vibration and thermal stress. • Durable under thermal cycling – Maintains shape and mechanical strength under repeated heating and cooling, reducing the chance of failure. • Multiple finish options – Supplied in pickled, passivated, or bright annealed finishes to enhance surface resistance and service life. • Easy installation – Designed for simple on-site clamping, welding, or banding without disassembling existing tube arrangements. • Fully customizable – Available in various thicknesses, lengths, and radii to match specific boiler, exchanger, or furnace system requirements. Applications • thermal power plants – Used to protect U-bend tubes in superheaters and reheaters. Ensures resistance to scaling, oxidation, and high flue gas temperatures. • petrochemical refineries – Shields return bends in reformers and heat exchangers. Maintains performance under carburizing and oxidizing conditions. • waste heat recovery systems (WHRBs) – Guards curved tubes against ash, slag, and gas turbulence. Increases tube life in high-temperature waste gas environments. • chemical and fertilizer plants – Used in high-temperature reactors and ammonia processing lines. Prevents tube damage from corrosive gases and thermal fatigue. • HRSGs and boilers – Installed on coil bends in steam generator systems. Enhances system reliability under rapid heating and cooling cycles. Conclusion The SS 310S U Type Half Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation is engineered for long-term performance in high-temperature, corrosive, and welded environments. With its low carbon content and excellent resistance to oxidation, it is ideal for protecting curved tube sections in critical systems. Designed for easy installation and custom fit, these shields extend the service life of boiler and exchanger tubes while minimizing maintenance.
