COPPER ALLOYS · FINNED TUBES
Copper alloy finned tube
A finned tube increases the air-side heat exchange surface of a bundle, in cupronickel or brass. This isn't a partner-stock form: it is sourced exclusively from the mill, from Metal Alloys Corporation's verified catalogue.
Request a quoteWhat is a finned tube?
A finned tube is an exchanger tube whose outer surface carries added or formed fins, to increase the exchange surface on the less conductive fluid side — typically air. Used in air-cooled exchangers, less common than plain tube in liquid/liquid circuits.
How to choose it?
This product is warranted when heat exchange happens with a poorly conductive gas on the finned side — an air-cooled condenser, an air/water exchanger. For a classic liquid/liquid exchanger, plain tube from the stainless tube cluster or the cupronickel page is usually enough.
Available grades
Cupronickel and brass, depending on the Metal Alloys Corporation mill catalogue's availability — to confirm at the time of request, as this form isn't standardised in stock.
Applicable standards
- ASTM B111
- EN 12451
Partner stock or mill?
We go through the mill when volume and lead time make sense — typically container-load quantities, sometimes less, with a lead time of a few months including transport. That arbitration is ours to make: when buying at source works out cheaper for you, we say so.
This form isn't part of partner stock: it is sourced exclusively from the mill, from the partner mill's verified catalogue.
Frequently asked questions
- Why isn't this product available from partner stock?
- Because finned tube is a specialised form, produced to order per the bundle drawing — it isn't an item generalist partner stockists keep on hand permanently, unlike plain tube.
- What is the lead time for a finned tube order?
- The mill timeline applies: container-load quantities or less, a few months including transport — to confirm precisely based on quantity and the bundle drawing supplied.
- Where does this product come from?
- From the public catalogue of partner mill Metal Alloys Corporation (India), verified on 15/08/2026, which confirms finned tubes and U-bend tubes in its range.
- Do you also offer matching tubesheets?
- Yes, see the dedicated tubesheets page, also mill route only.
