ASTM A376 TP347H HFW Solid Fin Tube For Heat Exchangers

What is ASME A376 TP347H HFW Solid Fin Tube with CS Fin?

Base pipe material: ASTM SA376 TP347H:

ASTM SA376 TP347H is a stabilized austenitic stainless steel grade, renowned for its exceptional high-temperature strength and superior resistance to intergranular corrosion. The addition of niobium (stabilizing element) effectively prevents carbide precipitation during exposure to elevated temperatures.

It is extensively employed in applications involving severe corrosive environments and high-temperature service, such as in superheaters, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels within power boilers and petrochemical industries. This material maintains excellent mechanical properties and oxidation resistance under sustained thermal cycling.

What is HFW Solid Fin Tube ?

The HFW Solid Fin Tube is a high-efficiency heat exchanger component made via high-frequency welding. It involves helically wrapping a metal strip around the base tube and fixing it via welding using high-frequency current, with no fusion welding and secure bonding. Featuring solid helical fins (increasing heat transfer area) and flexible material options (corrosion-resistant or high-temperature-resistant), it boasts high thermal efficiency, durability, and some variants can withstand up to 800°C. Applied in power generation, petrochemicals, HVAC, etc., it is manufactured in compliance with international standards like ASTM, serving as a preferred component for optimizing heat exchange in industry.
