What is Finned Aluminum Tubing?
Finned aluminum tubing is also known as aluminum finned tube.Finned aluminum tubings are widely used in various industries due to their excellent heat transfer properties. These tubes are designed with fins that increase the surface area, thus enhancing the heat transfer coefficient. In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of aluminum finned tubes with ASTM A192 A179 bare tube.
Finned Aluminum Tubing Process
Finned aluminum tubings are made by aluminum fins onto the outer surface of the ASTM A192 or ASTM A179 bare tube. The fins are tightly bonded to the tube, providing excellent heat transfer performance. The process also ensures that the fins have a uniform thickness and spacing, which further enhances the tubes heat transfer coefficient.

Performance – Advantages of Aluminum
The performance degradation of a heat exchanger is essentially due to two phenomenons which occurs over time :
Increased fouling resistance due to impurity accumulation contained in both fluids.
Increased thermal resistance at the tube-to-fin bond due to thermal cycling dilatation of the materials and to corrosion at the fin base or root. These factors creates a loss of contact or bond pressure in between the fins and the tube.
How to prevent performance degradation?
Fouling impact on heat exchanger performance can be reduced by an internal and external cleaning on a regular basis.
There is No remedial solution (except tube replacement) for correcting performance degradation due to increased tube-to-fin resistance but this can be prevented by using aluminum extruded finned tubes.
