Half Round Tube Shield Ladhani Metal Corporation manufactures high-quality Half Round Tube Shields designed to protect boiler and heat exchanger tubes from erosion, scaling, and thermal fatigue. These shields are especially suited for systems where tubes are exposed to turbulent gas flow, particulate-laden environments, and fluctuating thermal cycles. The semi-cylindrical shape of the shield allows easy installation and reliable surface protection, extending the operational life of the tubes. 1Cr13 Half Round Tube Shield for LTSH Tube The 1Cr13 Half Round Tube Shield is fabricated from martensitic stainless steel containing approximately 13% chromium. Known for its good corrosion resistance, moderate heat resistance, and excellent wear strength, 1Cr13 is suitable for medium-temperature applications, especially in mildly corrosive or oxidizing environments. This makes it an ideal material for shielding LTSH (Low Temperature Superheater) tubes from flue gas erosion and ash abrasion. 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 reliable manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of 1Cr13 Half Round Tube Shields, delivering durable and cost-effective solutions for various thermal power and heat exchanger applications.
