Expansion Wave Low Fin Tube Stainless Steel TP310S For Heat Exchangers

Expansion Wave Low Fin Tube Stainless Steel TP310S For Heat Exchangers

Expansion wave tubes, one type of low fin tubes, they are high-performance heat transfer components engineered by combining expansion wave (corrugated) tube geometry with low-fin enhancement, delivering exceptional thermal efficiency while mitigating fouling, reducing pressure drop, and extending service life across demanding industrial environments. 

Tube body features precisely controlled periodic corrugations, allowing for the management of turbulence in both internal and external fluid flows. This breaks down the thermal boundary layer, eliminates stagnant flow regions, and significantly improves the heat transfer coefficient, far exceeding the capabilities of smooth tubes. The corrugated pattern also introduces controlled mechanical flexibility, reducing thermal fatigue stress under cyclic heating/cooling conditions.

Material Compatibility:Available in a full range of industrial-grade materials. Like CS A179,A106 Gr.B, SS TP304, TP316L, TP321, TP310S, AS P5, P11, P22, T11, T22, etc.

Mechanical Properties

SS TP310S Key Properties

This material is oxidation-resistant, forming a protective chromium oxide layer that prevents oxidation and peeling at high temperatures. Furthermore, its mechanical properties remain stable even under high temperatures; TP310S can withstand temperatures up to 1100 degrees Celsius (2012 degrees Fahrenheit), making it ideal for extreme high-temperature environments. TP310S also exhibits strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and other corrosive chemicals, making it suitable for various harsh working conditions.

Applications of TP310S Expansion Wave Low Fin Tubes

Power Generation:boiler economizers, air preheaters, and heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs).

Petrochemical & Refining:process heaters, crude oil preheaters, overhead condensers, and hydrocracker feed exchangers,etc. 

Waste Heat Recovery:industrial exhaust gas heat exchangers,etc.

HVAC & Industrial Refrigeration:for shell-and-tube condensers and evaporators for chillers, industrial refrigeration systems,etc.
