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 enhance tube life, reduce maintenance requirements, and support efficient operation in high-performance industrial systems. The half-round design enables quick installation and provides effective coverage for vulnerable tube surfaces. SS 304 U Type Half Round Tube Shield The SS 304 U Type Half Round Tube Shield is a specially fabricated, semi-circular tube protection device designed to fit around both the curved (U-bend) and straight sections of heat exchanger and boiler tubes. Constructed from premium-grade stainless steel 304, it offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and mechanical wear. Its U-shaped configuration ensures continuous protection along the bend radius, where erosion, thermal stress, and ash impingement are most intense. This shield is available in both inner and outer configurations to ensure full tube coverage. • Outer U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Shields the external curve of U-bend tubes from flame impingement, heat radiation, and gas flow abrasion. • Inner U Type Half Round Tube Shield – Protects the internal arc of the U-bend from turbulence, corrosion, and localized thermal impact. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a leading manufacturer and exporter of SS 304 U Type Half Round Tube Shields, offering high-quality and custom-engineered solutions to meet the demanding requirements of global industries. 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: Ideal for use in thermal power systems, steam generation units, and petrochemical processing where tube bends are subject to extreme heat, corrosion, or flow-related erosion. Uses • Protection of U-bend sections in superheaters, reheaters, and economizers • Shielding of return bends in heat exchangers exposed to flue gas or high-velocity media • Enhancement of tube durability in HRSG systems and boilers • Erosion prevention in waste heat recovery boilers and furnace zones • Corrosion mitigation in chemical process plant U-tube bundles Features • Material: Manufactured from high-grade SS 304 for superior heat and corrosion resistance • Configuration: Inner and outer U-type shields available for full bend coverage • Design: Formed precisely to match U-bend tube radius for secure, vibration-free fitment • Finish: Bright annealed, pickled, or passivated finishes available (custom finishes on request) • Durability: High mechanical strength and long service life under thermal cycling • Customization: Available in various lengths, thicknesses, and diameters as per project requirements • Easy Installation: Designed for clamping, welding, or banding with minimal tube interference Applications • Thermal power stations and utility boilers • Waste-to-energy systems and HRSGs • Petrochemical refineries and furnace systems • Chemical processing and ammonia plants • Steam-based heat recovery units • Pulp and paper mills with superheater tube networks Conclusion The SS 304 U Type Half Round Tube Shield by Ladhani Metal Corporation offers a reliable and efficient solution for protecting U-bend tube sections in demanding high-temperature and corrosive environments.
