Seamless TP321H High Frequency Welded Finned Tube with CS Fins

Product Specification

High Frequency Welded Finned Tubes – TP321H Base Tube with Carbon Steel Fins

Product Introduction

High Frequency Welded (HF) Finned Tubes are high-efficiency heat transfer components manufactured by continuously winding and simultaneously welding a fin strip onto a base tube using high-frequency resistance welding. This process creates a strong metallurgical bond without filler material, ensuring excellent heat transfer performance, high mechanical strength, and reliability under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.

Our TP321H Base Tube + Carbon Steel Fins HF welded finned tubes combine the superior high-temperature corrosion resistance and creep strength of TP321H stainless steel with the cost-effective thermal conductivity of carbon steel fins. They are ideal for demanding industrial environments.

Product Material

Base Tube Material: ASTM A213 / A312 TP321H (Titanium-stabilized austenitic stainless steel with high carbon content) Fin Material: Carbon Steel (typically Q235, S235JR, or equivalent) Welding Process: High Frequency Resistance Welding (HFRW)

Chemical Composition

Base Tube – TP321H

Fins – Carbon Steel

Product Structure & Manufacturing Process

The finned tube consists of three main parts:

• Base Tube (TP321H) — Provides high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance.

• Fins (Carbon Steel) — Significantly increase the external surface area for enhanced convective heat transfer.

• Weld Seam — Formed by High Frequency Resistance Welding, creating a continuous helical metallurgical bond.

Manufacturing Process: The carbon steel fin strip is helically wound around the rotating TP321H base tube while high-frequency current concentrates heat at the contact point. Forge pressure creates a strong bond with minimal heat-affected zone, resulting in high weld integrity and excellent thermal performance.

Dimensions & Tolerances

Typical ranges (custom sizes available):

• Base Tube OD: 25 mm – 219 mm
• Fin Height: 10 mm – 25 mm
• Fin Thickness: 0.8 mm – 2.0 mm
• Fin Pitch (Density): 8 – 20 fins per inch (FPI)
• Tube Length: Up to 24 meters

Dimensional Tolerances (Reference ASME / Industry Standards):

Performance Advantages

• Excellent High-Temperature Resistance: TP321H base tube offers superior creep and stress-rupture strength up to 800°C+.
• Strong Metallurgical Bond: HF welding provides near 100% bonding efficiency with no gaps, ensuring long service life.
• High Heat Transfer Efficiency: Increased surface area (up to 8–12 times bare tube) and optimized fin geometry promote turbulent flow.
• Corrosion & Oxidation Resistance: TP321H stabilization with Titanium prevents carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion.
• Cost Efficiency: Carbon steel fins reduce overall material cost while maintaining performance.
• Mechanical Strength: Withstands thermal cycling, vibration, and high-pressure environments.
