What is stainless steel fin tube?
The Fin Tubes are used in applications wherein heat transfer occurs from a hot fluid to a cold one through a tube wall. They come with their fins which help to increase the surface area against which the outer fluid would come in contact. The Stainless Steel Fin Tubes are used with shell and tube heat exchangers to enhance the heat transfer process between the inside and outside of the tube. The Extruded Fin Tube manufacturer In India produces fin tubes for a wide range of applications like coils for hybrid cooling towers, the chemical industry, surface coating productions, and so on.
Difference between low fin tube & high finned tubes
The Low Fin Tubes has rotational processing of the steel tube’s outer surface to create a fin shape. It is essentially a single integral tube made of a single piece of material. They have a smaller fin, about 1/16th of an inch of the fin height. The Low Fin Tubes For Heat Exchangers are generally used in liquid to gas or liquid to liquid applications like chillers, condensers, etc.
The use of High Finned Tubes helps to attain a large surface area to optimize the heat transfer between the fluid and the tubes wall. They have exceptional temperature control efficiency in different types of environments. Available in customizable sizes, the tubes are used in industries like power generation, chemical processing and HVAC systems.

What is stainless steel stud finned tube?
They are Welded Square Fin Tubes are manufactured by resistance welding of the studs on the bare tubes. The fins are manufactured when the fin material is welded at the base to the tubes through the ERW process.

What is L type finned tube?
For the L Type Finned tubes, the finning process is done by spirally wrapping the fin stock around the tube’s base. This is why they are also known as Spiral Finned Tubes. Here, the base of the fin stock is shaped like an ‘L,’ which helps the base to stand firmly.
What is stainless steel longitudinal finned tube?
The Stainless Steel Longitudinal Finned Tubes are produced by resistance welding the fins in diametrically opposite pairs. Herein, the channels are welded on the tube's external surface, increasing their efficiency. The longitudinal Extruded Finned Tubes must have fins that are multiples of four and are used in gas coolers, fire-rated heaters, tank heaters, etc.
