Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are precision-engineered components used to protect heat exchanger and boiler tubes from erosion, scaling, slag buildup, and high-temperature oxidation. These shields are commonly applied in thermal and industrial systems where tubes are exposed to flue gases, particulate flow, and repeated thermal cycling. The half-round design ensures secure and efficient coverage over straight or curved tube sections, reducing maintenance needs and enhancing tube lifespan. SS 430 U Type Outer Half Round Tube Shield The SS 430 U Type Outer Half Round Tube Shield is fabricated from SS 430, a ferritic stainless steel known for its good corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and excellent formability. This outer U-type shield is specifically designed to protect the outer arc of U-bend tubes in boilers, heat exchangers, and recovery systems. SS 430 is highly resistant to stress corrosion cracking and scaling in mildly corrosive and high-temperature environments, making it a cost-effective solution for less aggressive service conditions. • Outer U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Shields the outer curvature of U-bend tubes against heat, slag, soot erosion, and surface oxidation from flue gases. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a reliable manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of SS 430 U Type Outer Half Round Tube Shields, offering dependable protection for boiler and exchanger tube bends in moderate-temperature industrial environments. Chemical Composition of SS 430 – Ferritic Stainless Steel • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.12% • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.00% • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.040% • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.00% • Chromium (Cr): 16.0 – 18.0% • Nickel (Ni): ≤ 0.75% • Iron (Fe): Balance Applications: Ideal for moderate-temperature, mildly corrosive environments where oxidation resistance and mechanical durability are required. Uses • Outer bend protection of U-tubes in reheaters and superheaters in thermal power generation systems • Shielding of external arcs in waste heat recovery units and heat exchangers exposed to dry or clean flue gases • Coverage of U-bend tubes in utility boilers and economizers with low chloride or sulfuric gas exposure • Suitable for food processing and clean air systems requiring stable performance under elevated temperatures • Used in systems where stress corrosion cracking resistance and cost-effective shielding are priorities Features • Good corrosion and oxidation resistance – Chromium-rich alloy resists surface oxidation and rust formation at elevated temperatures • Outer arc coverage – Provides mechanical and thermal shielding for the most exposed curve of U-bend tubes • Thermal stability – Performs reliably in temperatures up to 815°C with good resistance to scaling and heat stress • Easy installation – Can be mounted using clamps, banding, or tack welding without requiring disassembly of the system • Precision fit – Custom-fabricated to fit specific tube diameters and radii, ensuring secure, movement-free installation • Economical solution – Offers dependable performance at a lower cost compared to austenitic stainless steels Applications • thermal and captive power plants – Installed on U-bend outer arcs in superheaters and economizers exposed to moderate flue gases • heat recovery systems – Shields bends in WHRB and HRSG systems operating under low-corrosive and oxidizing conditions • general industrial boilers – Protects tube surfaces from surface scaling and minor gas abrasion • process industries – Suitable for clean air and low-chloride gas systems in the food, paper, or light chemical sectors • HVAC and ventilation systems – Used in exhaust and heating systems requiring corrosion-resistant but cost-effective shielding Conclusion The SS 430 U Type Outer Half Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation—manufacturer, supplier, and exporter—is a cost-effective and reliable protective component for U-bend tube outer surfaces in industrial systems. With good oxidation resistance, structural integrity under moderate heat, and easy installation, it is ideal for power plants, recovery systems, and clean process industries where durable but economical shielding is required.
