Half Round Tube Shield
Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are specially designed components used to protect boiler and heat exchanger tubes from erosion, wear, and high-temperature damage. Manufactured with precision and expertise, these shields ensure enhanced tube life, reduced maintenance, and efficient operation in demanding industrial environments.
SS 304 Half Round Tube Shield
The SS 304 Half Round Tube Shield is a semi-circular protective cover made from high-quality stainless steel grade 304. It is widely used in thermal and mechanical systems where tube surfaces are exposed to harsh operating conditions. The half-round design allows for easy installation over the tubes while providing robust protection against flue gases, abrasives, and thermal stress.
Chemical Composition of SS 304 – Austenitic Stainless Steel
• Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08%
• 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 – 10.5%
• Iron (Fe): Balance
Applications: Widely used in boilers, heat exchangers, steam lines, and furnaces due to its excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and durability in high-temperature environments.
Uses
Half Round Tube Shields are essential components in a wide range of thermal and mechanical systems. Their primary function is to protect exposed tube surfaces from damage caused by high-temperature operations, abrasive flow, and chemical environments.
Common uses include:
Boiler tube protection in thermal and power plants, where shields guard against ash erosion, slagging, and flame impingement.
Shielding heat exchanger tubes from erosion and corrosion caused by turbulent gas flow and aggressive operating media.
Preventing mechanical wear from high-velocity gas flow in furnace and combustion systems, especially in radiant heat zones.
Providing long-term protection for high-temperature tubing in petrochemical and refinery systems, helping to reduce downtime and costly tube replacements.
These shields serve as a barrier between the harsh environment and the structural tube surface, thereby improving operational safety, minimizing maintenance, and extending the service life of critical equipment.
