Half Round Tube Shield Half Round Tube Shields by Ladhani Metal Corporation are high-precision protective components designed to shield boiler and heat exchanger tubes from erosion, high-temperature scaling, and aggressive gas flows. Crafted from superior stainless steel alloys, these shields enhance equipment reliability and performance in demanding industrial conditions. SS 310 Half Round Tube Shield The SS 310 Half Round Tube Shield is a semi-circular metallic shield fabricated using premium stainless steel grade 310, known for its outstanding resistance to oxidation, scaling, and corrosion at elevated temperatures. This shield is specifically designed for use in environments involving extreme thermal cycling, aggressive combustion gases, and high mechanical stress. The half-round configuration ensures easy, secure installation over exposed tubes, forming a protective barrier that extends component life and reduces maintenance costs. Chemical Composition of SS 310 – Austenitic Stainless Steel • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.25% • 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 Uses : • Boiler Tube Protection – Shields boiler tubes from direct exposure to high-temperature flue gases, reducing metal loss due to oxidation and abrasive ash erosion in thermal power plants. • Heat Exchanger Tube Shielding – Provides a protective layer against high-temperature corrosion and flow-induced wear, preserving efficiency and reducing failure risks. • Furnace Tube Safeguarding – Resists flame impingement and scale buildup in industrial furnaces, extending the life of radiant and convection section tubes. • Petrochemical Process Protection – Used in reactors and reformers where exposure to hot process gases and thermal cycling can severely damage unprotected tubes. • Steam Superheater and Reheater Systems – Guards tubes from surface deterioration in high-pressure steam circuits, improving operational longevity and safety. Features : • High-Temperature Resistance – SS 310 maintains structural integrity at temperatures up to 1100°C, ideal for high-heat zones in boilers and furnaces. • Corrosion and Oxidation Resistance – Superior chromium and nickel content ensures excellent resistance to oxidation, scaling, and carburization even under continuous thermal exposure. • Precision Half-Round Design – Ensures a tight, secure fit on existing tube surfaces, enabling quick installation and easy replacement without interrupting system performance. • Custom Fabrication – Available in various thicknesses, lengths, and diameters to suit different tube sizes and geometries, with optional welding or clamping attachments. • Surface Finishing Options – Offered in bright annealed, pickled, or passivated finishes for enhanced appearance and additional surface protection. Applications : • Thermal Power Plants – Protects superheater and economizer tubes from soot erosion, slagging, and thermal stress caused by high-velocity flue gases. • Oil Refineries and Petrochemical Plants – Installed on high-temperature piping and reformer tubes exposed to corrosive gases, thermal cycling, and process variability. • Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) – Enhances tube durability in combined-cycle plants where steam tubes face aggressive exhaust gas flow. • Chemical Processing Equipment – Applied in heat exchanger and reactor tubes that handle chemically reactive or acidic compounds at elevated temperatures. • Industrial Steam Boilers – Used in high-pressure steam systems across food, textile, pulp & paper, and marine industries to extend tube life and ensure safe operation.
