HIGH FREQUENCY HELICAL SERRATED FINNED PIPES

  • Helical serrated fin pipes are used in heat recovery equipment such as economizers and chillers to process heated liquids for specialty applications.
  • Common applications include recovery operations associated with boilers, gas turbines used in power generation and furnaces used in petrochemical processing and refining.
  • High frequency serrated pipes are manufactured helically forming a segmented metal strip around a pipe.
  • The strip is welded to the pipe using high frequency electrical resistance welding (HFRW) during the forming process.
  • The segment metal strip produces non-parallel fins.
  • HFRW is faster than GMAW welding, produces a more consistent weld, allows us to weld similar and dissimilar metals and reduces the need for heat treating the finished product.
  • It provides a homogenous, clean, continuous bond between the metal strip used for the fins and the pipe.

  • Pipe materials available are carbon steel, carbon moly, stainless steel, Incoloy ®and Inconel®. Other alloys are available if needed.
  • Fin materials available are carbon steel, 304, 316, 321 and 409 stainless steels. Other alloys are available if needed.
  • Pipe sizes from 1” O.D. to 8 NPS (8.625” O.D.)
  • Fin heights from 3/8” to 1-1/2”
  • Fin thickness from 20 ga. (.035”) to 14 ga. (.075”)
  • Fin pitch from 1 fins/in. to 7 fins/in.
  • Fin pitch from 3/4 fins/in. to 7 fins/in.
    • Pipes can be bent into the shapes required for your application.
