Profins provides a range of other products for a wide range of applications including; heat recovery systems, boilers, gas turbines and furnaces for the refining and petrochemical industries.

We have vast experience in supplying to engineering consultants, end users and other refurbishment companies. We work closely with customers to understand their specific material requirements and other demands.

Effective procurement solutions of materials reduces lead times and a variety of testing is available to ensure a high quality product is delivered.

Welded Finned Tubes

Profins can supply either solid or serrated welded finned tubes. These tubes are manufactured specifically to suit the high temperature environment found in furnaces/boilers and waste heat recovery equipment.

Our high frequency serrated fin is a metal strip that has been serrated or cut and then helically wound around the specified tube. The fin is welded to the tubular base using the high frequency weld process.

The fin can be applied to a wide variety of tubular material with configurations to suit your requirements.

  • TUBE SIZES 3/4" O.D. TO 8" NPS (8.625" O.D.)
  • FIN HEIGHTS 3/8" TO 1 1⁄2"
  • FIN THICKNESS 20 GA. (.035") TO 12 GA. (.102") SEGMENTED WIDTH: 4.5MM OR 8MM
  • SEGMENT WIDTH 4.5MM OR 8MM
  • FIN PITCH 1 TO 7 FINS PER INCH
  • MATERIAL ANY MATERIAL OR COMBINATION THAT CAN BE RESISTANCE OR ARC WELDED.
 

Integral Low Fin Tubes

Integral low fin tube has the advantage that it can improve the thermal performance of a heat exchanger without the necessity for changing shell size, flow arrangement or the repositioning of piping. The external surface of the tube is increased by the formation of "low fins" by direct extrusion from the material of the base tube.
