Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are essential components engineered to protect boiler, superheater, reheater, and heat exchanger tubes from high-temperature damage, erosion, slag buildup, and corrosion. These shields are commonly used in thermal power plants, petrochemical systems, waste heat recovery units, and high-temperature industrial processes where curved tube sections are frequently exposed to hot flue gases and particulate-laden flow. The half-round shape ensures quick installation and effective protection without dismantling the tube system. U Type Outer Half Round Tube Shield The U type outer half round tube shield is specifically designed to cover and protect the outer arc of U-bend tubes — the area most vulnerable to heat, gas erosion, flame impingement, and slag accumulation. These shields are manufactured in a wide variety of stainless steel and heat-resistant alloy grades to meet specific temperature, corrosion, and wear resistance requirements across various industries. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of U type outer half round tube shields in a full range of grades, offering precise fitment, durability, and reliable protection for curved tubes operating in extreme service environments.
