Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are engineered to protect heat exchanger, boiler, and superheater tubes from erosion, thermal scaling, and high-temperature corrosion. These shields are widely used in power plants, petrochemical systems, and high-temperature industrial equipment where tubes are exposed to direct flame, turbulent gas flow, and particulate matter. Their half-round shape ensures easy installation over curved or straight tube surfaces, providing an effective layer of protection without the need for equipment disassembly. SS 310S U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield The SS 310S U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield is made from stainless steel grade 310S, a low-carbon variant of SS 310. It offers excellent resistance to oxidation and high-temperature corrosion while providing improved weldability and reduced risk of sensitization during thermal cycling. This inner U-type shield is specifically designed to cover the inside arc of U-bend tubes, an area commonly affected by accelerated wear due to turbulence, heat concentration, and gas flow deflection. • Inner U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Designed to protect the inner curvature of U-bend tubes from erosion, slag buildup, and oxidation caused by high-velocity gas flow and thermal cycling. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a recognized manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of SS 310S U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shields, providing tailored solutions for heat-exposed systems in demanding industrial environments. Chemical Composition of SS 310S – Low Carbon Austenitic Stainless Steel • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.08% • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 2.00% • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.045% • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030% • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.50% • Chromium (Cr): 24.0 – 26.0% • Nickel (Ni): 19.0 – 22.0% • Iron (Fe): Balance Applications: Best suited for oxidizing and high-temperature environments where welded structures are used and resistance to thermal fatigue is critical. Uses • Inner arc shielding for U-bend tubes in high-temperature boilers and superheaters • Installed in the return bends of HRSGs and waste heat recovery boilers (WHRBs) • Used in curved sections of heat exchangers exposed to combustion gases and fluctuating heat • Protects tube bends in petrochemical reactors, reformers, and process furnaces • Ideal for inner arc protection in high-temperature flue gas zones and incinerator coils Features • Excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance – Effective performance in environments up to 1050°C • Low carbon content – Reduces risk of intergranular corrosion after welding or extended service • Focused protection – Shields the inner bend surface most prone to gas turbulence and scaling • Accurate fitment – Custom-fabricated to match specific tube sizes and radii for optimal coverage • Fast installation – Can be securely mounted using stainless steel clamps, bands, or welds • Reliable performance – Enhances the lifespan of U-bend tubes and minimizes maintenance in heat-affected areas Applications • power plants – Used on U-bend inner surfaces in superheaters and reheaters to resist scale and corrosion • petrochemical industry – Shields inside tube arcs in reformers and exchangers exposed to hot process gases • waste heat systems – Protects internal tube bends in WHRBs and HRSGs from slag and thermal fatigue • chemical plants – Provides corrosion protection for return bends in reactors and condensers • high-temperature industrial units – Installed in curved tube coils subjected to flame exposure and oxidizing gases Conclusion The SS 310S U Type Inner Half Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation – manufacturer, supplier, and exporter – is a dependable, high-temperature protective solution for shielding the inner arc of U-bend tubes. With its excellent oxidation resistance, low carbon content, and suitability for welded environments, this shield is ideal for critical systems operating under thermal stress and corrosive gas flow.
