Half Round Tube Shield Ladhani Metal Corporation manufactures SS 430 Half Round Straight Tube Shields to provide cost-effective protection for straight boiler and heat exchanger tubes in mildly corrosive and oxidizing environments. SS 430 is a ferritic stainless steel known for its good resistance to oxidation, thermal fatigue, and moderate corrosion in non-aggressive media. These shields are ideal for shielding tubes exposed to dry flue gases, ash, and scale buildup. SS 430 Half Round Straight Tube Shield The SS 430 Half Round Straight Tube Shield is designed to fit snugly over the exterior surface of straight tubes, forming a physical barrier that resists thermal cycling, soot-blowing erosion, and mechanical wear. With its high chromium content, SS 430 provides enhanced resistance to scaling at elevated temperatures. It is commonly used in power plants, economizers, WHRBs, and industrial boilers where consistent performance and affordability are important. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of SS 430 Half Round Straight Tube Shields, offering practical shielding solutions to extend the life of tubes in thermal and process equipment. Material Grade SS 430 – Ferritic stainless steel with good oxidation resistance and moderate corrosion protection in non-chloride environments. Chemical Composition of SS 430 • 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% • Iron (Fe): Balance Applications: Suitable for dry, clean flue gas zones and mildly corrosive environments with minimal exposure to chlorides or strong acids. Uses • Straight tube shielding in boiler flue gas paths • Protection in economizers and preheater sections • Used in WHRBs for dry particulate erosion prevention • Ideal for food, paper, and textile industries with clean gas flow • Applied in low-to-moderate temperature furnace and duct systems Features • Good oxidation resistance – Performs well in clean, dry heat environments • Cost-efficient – Affordable solution for basic erosion protection • Magnetic ferritic grade – Offers dimensional stability under temperature cycling • Resistant to scaling – Up to ~815°C in intermittent service • Customizable – Lengths, radius, and thickness tailored to project needs • Easy attachment – Suitable for weld-on, clamp-on, or banded installation Applications • thermal boilers – Low-cost shielding for tubes in flue passages • process heat exchangers – Protects tubes in moderately aggressive environments • industrial dryers and ovens – Used in clean-air heating systems • WHRBs – Economical shield in clean-burning furnaces • general steam systems – Prevents tube wear and extends service life Conclusion SS 430 Half Round Straight Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are a durable and economical choice for protecting straight tubes from heat, scale, and dry flue gas abrasion. With its balance of thermal resistance and cost-effectiveness, it serves reliably across a wide range of industrial systems.
