Brazed Finned Tubes
Brazed finned tubing offers a seamless metallurgical bond between fin and tube. A seamless metallurgical bond results in this type of attachment being ideal for rigorous, high-temperature applications. When the temperature rises or falls the tube expands or shrinks due to temperature never relaxes its grip. Unity Tube offers brazed finned tubing in similar or dissimilar metals for increased heat transfer efficiency. The bond created between the tube and the fin ensures a stress-free, uniform, and non-porous contact. This bonding allows for thinner tube walls compared to a welded fin to tube joint.
Soldered Finned Tubes
There are two distinct types of soldered finned tubing: The first is solder-coated finned tubing which covers the entire fin and tube surface with the alloy. Lead-free and tin-lead alloys are available for all soldered products. Soldered tubes are best used in applications where the temperature does not get above 425 degrees F. When required we can also provide a root soldering which involves a special technique that uses enough solder to create the bond between the tube and the base of the fin thus avoiding bridging between fins.
