Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are designed to protect boiler coils, heat exchanger tubes, and superheaters from erosion, scaling, slag deposition, and high-temperature damage. These shields are used extensively in thermal power plants, waste heat recovery systems, and process industries to extend tube life, reduce maintenance costs, and maintain thermal efficiency. Their semi-cylindrical design allows for easy and secure installation over straight or curved tube surfaces. 1Cr13 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield The 1Cr13 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield is fabricated from martensitic stainless steel 1Cr13, offering good mechanical strength, moderate corrosion resistance, and excellent wear resistance. This grade performs well in thermal systems subject to moderate chemical exposure and mechanical erosion. The inner U-type configuration is engineered to shield the inner arc of U-bend tubes, where turbulent flow, thermal cycling, and slag buildup are most intense and damaging. • Inner U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Covers the internal curvature of U-bend tubes, protecting against erosion, slag impact, and thermal degradation in high-flow areas. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of 1Cr13 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shields, offering durable and cost-effective solutions for general-purpose heat protection in industrial systems. Chemical Composition of 1Cr13 – Martensitic Stainless Steel • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.15% • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.00% • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.035% • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.00% • Chromium (Cr): 12.0 – 14.0% • Iron (Fe): Balance Applications: Suitable for moderately corrosive and abrasive environments with thermal exposure, where strength and erosion resistance are required. Uses • Installed on the inner arc of U-bend tubes in boilers and reheaters to resist erosion from flue gas flow • Shields inner bends in WHRBs and HRSGs subjected to scale buildup and thermal fatigue • Applied in curved tube sections of heat exchangers and evaporators operating under fluctuating temperatures • Used in process industries for protection against moderate corrosion and mechanical wear • Ideal for thermal units in power, petrochemical, and refining applications Features • Good wear and erosion resistance – Suitable for high-velocity gas flow zones • Inner arc protection – Shields critical U-bend areas where slag, turbulence, and thermal load are most severe • Moderate corrosion resistance – Performs well in mildly aggressive gas environments • Tailored fit – Custom-fabricated to match tube size and bend radius for precise protection • Easy installation – Compatible with clamp-on, weld-on, or banding methods • Cost-effective – An economical solution for routine protection of thermal system tube bends Applications • power generation – Inner U-bend protection in superheaters and economizers facing gas flow and scaling • waste heat recovery – Used in WHRBs to protect return bends from erosion and thermal damage • petrochemical processing – Applied in internal bends of steam reformers and exchangers • chemical industry – Suitable for use in reactors and thermal units operating under moderate heat and chemical exposure • industrial furnaces – Protects tube bends from slag deposits and temperature fluctuations Conclusion The 1Cr13 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation – manufacturer, supplier, and exporter – offers reliable protection for U-bend tubes exposed to moderate thermal and erosive conditions. With its martensitic strength, wear resistance, and affordable performance, it is well-suited for a wide range of thermal and industrial process applications.
