Product Specification

ASTM A179/ ASME SA179 Carbon Steel L Type Fin Tubes With Al1060 Aluminium Strip

Product Overview:

The ASTM A179 / ASME SA179 Carbon Steel Wound Fin Tubes with Al1060 Aluminum Strip are designed to provide efficient heat transfer in industrial heat exchangers, boilers, and cooling systems. These tubes feature a carbon steel base tube (ASTM A179 / ASME SA179) with wound aluminum fins (Al1060), providing an enhanced surface area for heat dissipation. The wound fin design offers a compact and cost-effective solution, ideal for heat recovery systems, air-cooled heat exchangers, and other industrial cooling applications.

Key Features

1. Base Tube Material: ASTM A179 / ASME SA179 Carbon Steel

• ASTM A179 / ASME SA179 is low-carbon steel, known for its excellent thermal conductivity and strength.

• It is commonly used in seamless tubes for heat exchangers, condensers, and boilers, especially in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

• The low-carbon content allows for easy welding and fabrication, making it ideal for various industrial applications requiring reliable heat transfer.

2. Fin Type: Wound Fin Design

• Wound fins are spirally wrapped around the base tube, increasing the surface area for heat transfer without significantly increasing the size of the tube.

• This design is particularly effective in space-limited applications, where maximizing heat transfer efficiency in a compact form is necessary, such as in air-cooled heat exchangers and cooling towers.

3. Fin Material: Al1060 Aluminum Strip

• Al1060 aluminum is used for the fins due to its high thermal conductivity and lightweight properties, which enhance the heat dissipation capabilities of the tube.

• The Al1060 aluminum strip provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability in humid or chemically aggressive environments, making these tubes ideal for cooling systems and industrial heat exchangers.

4. Application: Heat Exchangers, Boilers, Cooling Systems

• The wound fin tube design is perfect for heat exchangers, boilers, cooling systems, and HVAC systems that require high heat transfer efficiency in a compact and cost-effective form factor.

• These tubes are particularly useful in air-cooled heat exchangers, condensers, and industrial cooling systems where space constraints and high efficiency are important.
