ASTM A213 T12 Alloy Steel Solid Fin Tube with Carbon Steel Fin Strip for Economizer
This product is a high-performance heat transfer component designed for use in industrial economizers, particularly in power plants, boilers, and waste heat recovery systems. The base tube is manufactured from ASTM A213 T12 alloy steel, known for its excellent high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and durability under thermal cycling conditions. This makes it ideal for prolonged operation in environments where steam or flue gas temperatures are elevated.
The fin structure is solid type, meaning the carbon steel fin strip is helically wound and continuously welded to the tube's outer surface. The carbon steel fin strip offers a balance of mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and cost-effectiveness. Solid fins provide robust protection against erosion and corrosion from flue gas particles, as well as enhanced surface area for improved heat transfer efficiency.
