Product Description

U-Tube heat exchanger tubes are stainless steel tubes bent into a U-shape for use in shell and tube heat exchangers. This design allows for thermal expansion compensation, easy tube bundle removal, and efficient heat transfer. Manufactured from seamless or welded stainless steel, these tubes offer excellent corrosion resistance and high reliability in demanding thermal applications.

Key Features:

Precision U-bending with consistent radius
Allows free thermal expansion – no stress on tube sheet
Easy maintenance – the tube bundle can be removed and cleaned
Smooth internal surface for optimal heat transfer
Available in various bend radii and leg lengths
Seamless or welded & drawn construction

    Precision cold rolled stainless steel strip is a narrow, thin-gauge stainless steel product manufactured to significantly tighter thickness and width tolerances than standard cold-rolled sheet. Unlike standard sheet (typically 1000mm or 1219mm wide), precision strip is produced in narrow widths — usually less than 600mm — and thin gauges from 0.05mm up to 3.0mm. The key differentiator is the tolerance : the precision strip holds thickness variations to as low as ±0.005mm,
