Our Finned Tubes
Finned tubes, also known as heat exchange tubes,fin pipe and finned tube.Fin pipe are heat transfer elements used to enhance heat transfer. They increase surface area and improve heat transfer efficiency. They are suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive environments in industries such as boilers, power generation, and metallurgy. Their core function is to reduce contact thermal resistance and provide corrosion and wear resistance. They are commonly used in waste heat recovery and heat exchange equipment.
Datang Fin Tube manufactures spiral welded finned tubes for:
OEM customers to incorporate into their own products
Industrial end-user customers for heating or cooling process liquids and gases

Heat Exchanger Refurbishment and Repairs
Fin pipes are core components of heat exchangers, and their repair and replacement require appropriate types based on specific operating conditions.
Fin Tube Repair Precautions
Flange Joints: If a flanged fin tube leaks, inspect the sealing surface for damage or loose bolts. Replace the gasket or retighten the bolts if necessary.
Contact Thermal Resistance: For high-frequency welded fin tubes, if localized detachment occurs, replace the damaged section and re-weld or repair using a metallurgical bonding process.
Tube Bundle Arrangement Adjustment: If heat transfer efficiency decreases, inspect the fin shape for deformation and optimize the arrangement (staggered/sequential). Redesign the arrangement or replace the fins if necessary.
Fin Pipes Replacement Recommendations
Fin Tube Material Matching: When replacing fin tubes, ensure the base tube (e.g., carbon steel, stainless steel) and flange material are consistent to prevent electrochemical corrosion. Fin Tube Process Selection: Fin tubes using the high-frequency welding process (metallurgical bonding) are preferred. They offer high tensile strength and a shedding rate of less than 0.1%, making them suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
Fin Tube Shape Compatibility: Spiral fins are suitable for most heat exchange applications. Straight fins can be used to reduce air resistance.
Fin Tube Installation and Maintenance Tips
Bracket Securing: Ensure the bracket is secure to prevent shaking during operation, which could cause uneven contact and affect heat transfer efficiency.
Fin Tube Seal Inspection: Regularly check the seals of pipe joints to prevent leaks.
Regular Fin Tube Cleaning: Clean dust from the fin surface to prevent impaired heat dissipation.
Fin Tube Repair and Replacement: The repair and replacement of fin tubes should be tailored to the specific operating conditions (such as temperature, pressure, and media characteristics). It is recommended that professional personnel perform the repair and replacement to ensure safety and efficiency.
