ASTM A179 Carbon Steel Cooling Low 3/4" Fin Tube For Pipe Heat Exchanger In Refinery Industry

A low finned tube is a specialized heat exchanger tube featuring external finning that enhances surface area for superior heat transfer between the tube and surrounding fluids or gases. With smaller, more densely packed fins than standard tubes, these components deliver exceptional heat transfer coefficients, making them ideal for demanding thermal applications.

• Enhanced Heat Transfer: Fin geometry increases surface area for optimal thermal efficiency
• Superior Performance: Outperforms standard bare tubes in heat transfer applications
• Energy Savings: Reduces operational costs through improved efficiency
• Anti-Fouling Design: Minimizes surface deposits and maintenance requirements
• Space Efficiency: Compact footprint enables installation in constrained spaces
• Material Versatility: Available in ASTM A179 and other alloys for specific application needs

ASTM A179 carbon steel offers high thermal conductivity, excellent ductility, and reliable corrosion resistance:

• Carbon (C): 0.06-0.18%
• Manganese (Mn): 0.27-0.63%
• Phosphorous (P): 0.035% max
• Sulfur (S): 0.035% max

• Tensile strength: 325 MPa (minimum)
