Timex Metals is a reputable Integrally Finned Tube Manufacturer, which provides premium quality tubes that are suitable in terms of heat transfer and long life. Such tubes find a lot of application in industries such as power generation, petrochemicals, and HVAC systems, as well as refineries. The integrally finned tubes are made with state-of-the-art extrusion technology and incorporate absolute bonding between the fins and the base tube. This high design improves efficiency and reduces maintenance, and this makes it ideal to be used in thermally demanding applications.

By a Integrally shaped fin profile the air flow can be controlled around the tube surface so that the heat transfer can be kept to the same level even if the operating conditions are changing. Generally, this fin design is chosen for the types of installation where the saving of the space, the structural strength, and the constant thermal output for a long service period are the main factors. On a B2BMarket, the detailed visibility of the material grades and the weight per meter give the possibility to the engineers and the sourcing teams to do the load calculations, to compare the design options and to make the procurement decisions more efficient. In a great number of projects, these parameters are talked over together with G Finned Tube configurations to decide the differences in the characteristics of the air flow, the requirements for the maintenance, and the efficiency of the operation in the future.
