About STUDDED FIN TUBE
The STUDDED Fin Tube is manufactured by Resistance Welding of Studs on the Bare tubes.
The fins are manufactured by welding of the Fin Material which is essential a stud or rod welded at base to the tube by Electrical Resistance Process.
Finned tubes are used in finned tubes, air coolers and heat exchangers, etc., mainly used in petrochemical refineries, power plants, chemical industries and steel plants and other industries
The current is made to flow through the Tube and the base of the studs. The studs are specifically made in shapes to facilitate the welding process. The Stud; during the finning “welding” process is also mechanically pressed on the tube at the point of welding thence causing a very good mechanical bond. This type of Fin Tube find very good application in high pressure and high temperature applications. The mechanical bond is very strong and hence finds application in places where extreme mechanical load, stress is expected while during the process or cleaning etc.
Properties of Studded Fin Tubes/Studded Fin Pipe:-
Manufacturing Process:- Electric Resistance Welding
Fin To Tube Bond:- Excellent
Heat Transfer Efficiency:- Excellent
Mechanical Resistance:- Excellent (Hence can be frequently cleaned with high pressure jets unlike other fin tubes. Thereby reducing down time and increasing overall life)
Corrosion Protection:- Gives excellent corrosion protection to the base tube since it entirely covers the base tube (except bare ends).
