How to classify finned tubes?

Finned tubes come in various types and new varieties continue to emerge. To effectively classify finned tubes, several aspects can be considered:

1. Classification Finned Tubes by Process:

   - Series of pipe (tube) finned tubes

   - Tension winding finned tubes

   - Insert tubes

   - Integral rolling fin tubes

   - Cast finned tubes

   - Welded fin tubes, further divided into high frequency welding fin tubes, submerged arc welding fin tubes, etc.

2. Classification Finned Tubes by Fin Shape:

   - Square, rectangular, circular finned tubes

   - Spiral finned tubes

   - Corrugated fin tubes

   - Serrated fin tubes

   - Needle-shaped fin tubes

   - Longitudinal finned tubes

   - Integral plate fin tubes (Ban Chi), etc.

3. Classification Finned Tubes by Material:

   - Copper, Aluminum, Copper/Aluminum finned tubes

   - Carbon steel, stainless steel, carbon steel/stainless steel finned tubes

   - Cast iron finned tubes, etc.

4. Classification Finned Tubes by Application:

   - Finned tubes for air conditioning

   - Finned tubes for air cooling

   - Boiler applications: water wall, coal boiler, air preheater, utilizing fin tubes

   - Finned tubes for recovering waste heat from various kilns and furnaces

   - Special-purpose finned tubes for other applications, etc.

By considering these aspects, finned tubes can be effectively classified based on their production process, fin shape, material composition, and intended application.
