ASTM A179 Extruded Fin Tube With Al-1060 For Air Cooled Condenser

Key Features:

1. Base Tube Material: ASTM A179 Carbon Steel

• ASTM A179 is a seamless low-carbon steel tube, designed to offer excellent thermal conductivity and strength for heat transfer applications.

• This material is widely used in heat exchangers, boilers, and cooling systems where efficient heat exchange is essential.

• Low-carbon steel is chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio and ability to handle pressure and temperature variations, making it perfect for industrial air-cooled condensers.

2. Fin Type: Extruded Aluminum Fin

• Extruded aluminum fins (Al-1060) are known for their excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties, making them ideal for air-cooled heat exchangers.

• Extrusion ensures the fins are tightly bonded to the base tube, ensuring no detachment over time, even in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

• Al-1060 aluminum provides superior corrosion resistance, especially in humid environments or where exposure to moisture and aggressive chemicals is common.

3. Fin Material: Al-1060 Aluminum

• Al-1060 is a high-purity aluminum alloy that is resistant to corrosion, particularly in water or air-cooled systems exposed to the environment.

• Aluminum fins offer lightweight performance without sacrificing heat dissipation, making the tube ideal for air-cooled condensers and cooling systems where space is limited and efficiency is paramount.

4. Application: Air-Cooled Condenser, Cooling System, Heat Exchanger

• ASTM A179 Extruded Fin Tubes with Al-1060 Fins are commonly used in air-cooled condensers, where the goal is to transfer heat from a fluid (usually steam) to the surrounding air.

• The extruded fin tube design ensures that maximum heat transfer is achieved in space-constrained environments, making it perfect for HVAC systems, chemical processing plants, power plants, and other industrial cooling systems.
