In chemical production, any tube and shell heat exchanger is one of the most common unit operation equipment. But, the heat exchanger pipes must be combined with tube sheets, meanwhile, their connecting strength and sealing properties are very important. During the use, if there is a leakage around the combination parts due to medium corrosion, temperature, pressure, temperature fluctuations, etc, so the choice of high quality tube sheet is not to be ignored.
Performances of Clad Tube Sheet
For tube and shell heat exchangers, when single material can't stand the medium corrosion, the exchangers must use double metals tube sheets, clad tube sheets. Sometimes, even though there is only one medium corrosion, the tube sheet is larger and thinner, using clad tube sheets is less expensive than the whole precious metal materials. The clad tube sheets' properties are even higher quality in a way. The clad tube sheets are well-bonded. We need to think about the clad tube sheets as the first choice for the heat exchangers.
There are special metals for clad tube sheet including stainless steel-carbon steel, nickel and nickel-base alloy --carbon steel, etc.
Our technical team will study your specific requirements on the designer's drawings. Show Gallianz your thicknesses and diameters of the clad tube sheets, we will quickly quote you at competitive prices.
Gallianz sells clad tube sheet broadly around the world. Rigid supervision is executed in term of quality, including chemical component analysis, ultrasonic testing, nondestructive testing, bonding testing. We also do tensile, bend, and corrosion test as per customers' requests.
What is tubesheet cladding?
cladding tube is a protective layer applied to the tubesheet of heat exchangers or other similar equipment. The tubesheet is a critical component that holds the tubes in place and separates different fluid streams within the heat exchanger. The cladding is typically made from a material that is resistant to corrosion, erosion, or other forms of wear, depending on the operating conditions of the equipment.
The purpose of cladding is to extend the lifespan of the tubesheet by protecting it from damage caused by harsh operating environments, chemical reactions, or thermal stresses. Cladding materials can include metals such as stainless steel, alloys, or composite materials, and they are often applied through welding, overlay techniques, or other methods.
Tubesheet cladding helps ensure the durability and efficient performance of heat exchangers and similar devices by providing a robust barrier against environmental and operational stresses.
FAQs of Tube Sheet Cladding
What is tube cladding?
Tube sheet cladding involves applying a layer of corrosion-resistant material, such as stainless steel or nickel alloy, onto the surface of a tube sheet. This process protects the tube sheet from corrosion and wear, thereby extending its service life.
