ASTM A179 Carbon Steel Wound Finned Tube with AL1060 Fin

ASTM A179 Carbon Steel Would Finned Tube , AL1060 Fin

The ASTM A179 Carbon Steel Wound Finned Tube (L-Type) is a high-performance heat exchanger component designed to improve thermal efficiency by increasing the surface area for heat transfer. It is manufactured using seamless ASTM A179 carbon steel tubes and features L-type fins, which are helically wound around the base tube. The L-type design ensures strong mechanical bonding between the fins and the base tube, enhancing durability and thermal performance.

Key Features:

• Material:

  • Base Tube: Seamless ASTM A179 carbon steel, known for its excellent strength and thermal conductivity.
  • Fins: Typically made from materials like aluminum or copper, depending on the application.

• Fin Type:

  • L-Type Fins: The fin foot is tightly wound and overlapped onto the tube surface, creating a secure mechanical bond to enhance heat transfer efficiency and provide resistance to fin detachment.

• Applications:

  • Heat exchangers, boilers, condensers.
  • Petrochemical plants, power generation systems, oil and gas refineries.
  • Air-cooled heat exchangers and refrigeration systems.

• Advantages:

  • Enhanced heat transfer due to increased surface area.
  • Strong mechanical bond between fins and tube ensures durability under thermal cycling and vibration.
  • High resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear with proper material selection.
  • Cost-effective and long-lasting in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

L-Type Finned Tube Benefits:

• Improved Heat Transfer: The L-type fin design maximizes the contact area between the fins and the tube, enhancing thermal performance.
• Durability: The tightly wound fins provide excellent stability, making the tube suitable for demanding industrial environments.
• Customization: Fins can be made from different materials (aluminum, copper, etc.) to meet specific application requirements, such as corrosion resistance or thermal conductivity.

Applications

The ASTM A179 Carbon Steel Wound Finned Tube (L-Type) is widely used in industries that require efficient heat transfer and durability in extreme conditions:

• Petrochemical Industry: Heat exchangers and condensers in refineries.
• Power Plants: Boilers and cooling systems.
• Oil & Gas: Pre-heaters and heat recovery systems.
• HVAC Systems: Air-cooled heat exchangers and refrigeration units.
