Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are engineered to provide robust protection for boiler tubes, superheaters, and heat exchangers operating under harsh thermal and corrosive conditions. Designed for installation over curved or straight tube sections, these shields help prevent erosion, slag accumulation, scaling, and high-temperature corrosion. Their half-round shape allows for quick and secure mounting, extending tube service life and minimizing unplanned maintenance in power plants, petrochemical facilities, and other high-temperature industrial systems. SS 316 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield The SS 316 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield is manufactured from molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel grade 316, offering enhanced resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride-induced attack. The inner U-type configuration is specifically designed to cover the internal arc of U-bend tubes, where gas turbulence and heat concentration tend to cause localized wear and scaling. This makes it an ideal choice for systems operating in corrosive, chloride-rich, or marine environments. • Inner U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Protects the internal curvature of U-bend tubes from high-temperature scaling, erosion, and corrosion due to turbulent gas flow and thermal cycling. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a reliable manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of SS 316 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shields, offering precision-fabricated shielding solutions tailored to the needs of critical high-performance industries. Chemical Composition of SS 316 – Austenitic Stainless Steel with Molybdenum • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08% • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00% • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045% • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.00% • Chromium (Cr): 16.0 – 18.0% • Nickel (Ni): 10.0 – 14.0% • Molybdenum (Mo): 2.0 – 3.0% • Iron (Fe): Balance Applications: Best suited for environments with exposure to chlorides, acidic gases, or steam, where advanced corrosion resistance and heat performance are required. Uses • Protection of inner arcs of U-bend tubes in superheaters and reheaters exposed to flue gas turbulence • Installed in return bends of heat exchangers, condensers, and WHRBs where inner surfaces face scaling and erosion • Ideal for curved tube sections in petrochemical reactors, steam reformers, and coastal or offshore installations • Applied in high-temperature systems exposed to chloride-laden or acidic process gases • Used in chemical and fertilizer plants where welded tube bends are prone to localized corrosion Features • Superior corrosion resistance – Molybdenum content enhances resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and aggressive chemicals • Inner arc coverage – Designed specifically for areas affected by turbulence and localized heat attack • Excellent high-temperature performance – Maintains mechanical strength and oxidation resistance up to 870°C • Custom fitment – Precisely fabricated to match tube diameter and bend radius for secure installation • Versatile mounting – Installed using clamps, bands, or tack welding, without needing system disassembly • Long-term reliability – Reduces tube degradation, downtime, and maintenance in harsh service conditions Applications • power generation – Used in U-bend tubes of superheaters and economizers in chloride-containing flue gas environments • petrochemical industry – Shields tube bends in reformers and exchangers exposed to acidic gases and steam • waste heat recovery – Protects inner arcs of tube coils in WHRBs and HRSGs from scaling and corrosion • chemical processing – Ideal for tube protection in corrosive media with high moisture and heat • marine and coastal systems – Provides corrosion defense in return bends of heat exchangers exposed to salt-laden air Conclusion The SS 316 U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation – manufacturer, supplier, and exporter – is a high-performance shielding solution for protecting the inner curvature of U-bend tubes exposed to heat and corrosive environments. With its molybdenum-enhanced resistance and precision engineering, this shield is ideal for applications requiring superior durability, thermal stability, and corrosion protection.
