Finned Tubes

Profins is the largest manufacturer of helical high finned tube in the United Kingdom with the facility to produce in excess of 10,000 metres of quality finned tube per week.
Our ability to draw base tube from our stock of over 1,000 tonnes allows us to react quickly to clients' demands and to remain competitive with any other producer worldwide. Profins' finning facility enables numerous fin and tube material and size combinations to be manufactured. This gives us unrivalled flexibility and allows us to react swiftly to emergency orders.

'L' FINNED TUBE

'L' Finned Tune

The strip material is subjected to controlled deformation under tension giving the optimum contact pressure of the foot of the fin onto the base tube thus maximizing the heat transfer properties. The foot of the fin considerably enhances the corrosion protection of the base tube. Max. operating. temp. 150ºC.

'G' EMBEDDED FINNED TUBE

Fin strip is wound & embedded on a groove and securely locked by closing the groove with the base tube metal. This ensures maximum heat transfer at high temperatures. Max. operating temp. 450ºC Embedded finned tubing offers exceptional thermal efficiency at higher temperature ranges with solid fin-to-tube contact. Fins are mechanically locked into a helical groove in the outside of the tube. Rollers press displaced metal from the groove against the base of the fin to form a lasting metal-to-metal bond.

'KL' FINNED TUBE

'KL' FINNED TUBE

Manufactured exactly as the 'L' fin except that the base tube is knurled before application of the fin foot. After application the fin foot is knurled into the corresponding knurling on the base tube thereby enhancing the bond between the fin and tube resulting in improved heat transfer characteristics. Max. operating. temp. 260ºC.

EXTRUDED FINNED TUBE

This fin type is formed from a bi-metallic tube consisting of an aluminium/copper outer tube and an inner tube of almost any material. The fin is formed by rolling material from the outside of the exterior tube to give an integral fin with excellent heat transfer properties and longevity. Extruded fin offers excellent corrosion protection of the base tube. Max. operating. temp. 280ºC.
Extruded fin tubes are formed helically out of a bi-metal or single walled mono-metal tube.

'LL' FINNED TUBE

'LL' FINNED TUBE

Manufactured in the same way as the 'L' fin type except that the fin foot is overlapped to completely enclose the base tube thereby giving excellent corrosion resistance. This type of tube is often used as an alternative to the more expensive extruded type fin in corrosive environments. Max. operating. temp. 180ºC.
