G Finned Tube: An Efficient Solution for High-Temperature Applications
Product Overview
The G Fin Tube, also known as the Embedded Fin Tube, is highly regarded for its performance in high-temperature and moderate-corrosion environments. This innovative design enhances heat transfer efficiency, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
Manufacturing Process
The unique construction of the G Fin Tube involves creating a helical groove on the base tube, inserting the fin strip under tension, and backfilling to secure the fin firmly. This continuous and precise process results in superior bonding between the fin and the tube, optimizing heat transfer capabilities.
Materials Used
- Fin Material: Typically made of Aluminum (Grades: ASTM B209 Al 1060, Al 1100, A1050).
- Tube Material: Offers versatility with options such as carbon steels (e.g., ASTM A179, St 35.8), low-alloy steels, stainless steels, copper-nickel alloys, aluminum bronze, and nickel alloys (e.g., Alloy 400).
