Half Round Tube Shield Ladhani Metal Corporation manufactures SS 304L Half Round Straight Tube Shields designed to protect straight sections of boiler and heat exchanger tubes from erosion, thermal fatigue, and corrosion caused by high-temperature gases and particulate matter. These shields are shaped to conform tightly to the outer tube surface, providing a protective barrier in high-wear zones. The SS 304L material offers excellent weldability and enhanced resistance to intergranular corrosion, making it ideal for shielding tubes in critical thermal environments. SS 304L Half Round Straight Tube Shield The SS 304L Half Round Straight Tube Shield is made from low-carbon austenitic stainless steel (304L), which minimizes carbide precipitation during welding and resists intergranular attack. This makes it especially useful for applications where welding is required during installation. The shield is installed over straight tube sections in boilers, superheaters, economizers, and steam processing equipment to extend tube life and reduce maintenance needs. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of SS 304L Half Round Straight Tube Shields, offering reliable tube protection solutions for industrial heating and energy systems. Material Grade SS 304L – Low-carbon variant of austenitic stainless steel with enhanced corrosion resistance and weldability. Chemical Composition of SS 304L • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.03% • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00% • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045% • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.00% • Chromium (Cr): 18.0 – 20.0% • Nickel (Ni): 8.0 – 12.0% • Iron (Fe): Balance Applications: Ideal for systems involving welding, elevated temperatures, and corrosive steam or gas exposure. Uses • Shielding straight tubes in boilers and superheaters • Protection of economizer tubes and reheaters • Used in heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) • Applied in steam reformers and chemical processing units • Effective in pulp and paper recovery boilers and refinery heaters Features • Intergranular corrosion resistance – Low carbon content prevents sensitization and weld decay • High-temperature strength – Maintains integrity under prolonged heat and gas exposure • Extended tube life – Minimizes erosion, slag buildup, and surface damage • Custom sizing – Available in various diameters, thicknesses, and lengths to match tube dimensions • Simple installation – Mounts securely using clamps, welding, or metal banding • Reduced maintenance – Lowers the need for frequent inspection and tube replacement Applications • power generation – Shields straight tube segments in LTSH and superheater zones from flue gas erosion • petrochemical plants – Protects tubes in high-humidity, chloride, and acidic processing environments • industrial boilers – Enhances tube longevity in zones prone to fly ash and slag contact • waste heat recovery systems – Extends operational life under thermal cycling and gas turbulence • marine boilers – Ideal for use in steam systems aboard ships exposed to saline and humid conditions Conclusion The SS 304L Half Round Straight Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation provides a robust and corrosion-resistant solution for protecting straight tube sections in thermal processing units. With its low carbon content, superior weldability, and durable performance in high-temperature environments, it is an optimal choice for industries focused on efficiency, reliability, and long service life.
