ASTM A312 310S Enhanced Heat Transfer Corrugated Tube
ASTM A312 310S Corrugated Tubes are widely used in heat transfer applications due to their excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and structural durability. 310S is a low-carbon variant of 310 stainless steel, which improves its weldability and reduces carbide precipitation at high temperatures.
1. Material Overview:
Corrugated tubes are designed with a wavy or ridged surface, enhancing turbulence and heat transfer efficiency. They are often fabricated from materials such as stainless steel, copper, or other alloys, depending on the application.
2. Key Features:
· Enhanced Heat Transfer: The corrugated surface increases turbulence in the fluid, improving thermal performance.
· Flexibility: The corrugated structure makes the tube suitable for applications requiring flexibility, such as thermal expansion.
· Compact Design: Higher efficiency allows for smaller and lighter heat exchangers.
3. Applications:
· HVAC systems, refrigeration, and industrial heat exchangers.
· Chemical processing and pharmaceutical equipment.
· Food and beverage processing industries.
4. Advantages:
· Improved heat transfer rates compared to smooth tubes.
· Reduced fouling due to the turbulent flow created by the corrugations.
· Versatile design, suitable for a wide range of thermal applications.
Comparison: Extruded Fin Tube vs. Corrugated Tube
| Feature | Extruded Fin Tube | Corrugated Tube |
