Mumbai, India-based Harsh Metalloys is a credible manufacturer and supplier of precision-bent high-quality stainless steel U tubes, which are prized for corrosion resistance, strength, and precision bending. Designed to withstand stringent thermal and mechanical requirements, our stainless steel U tubes are in high demand in heat exchangers, condensers, and boiler systems. Our tubes, made with advanced technology and rigorous quality control, guarantee precise dimensions and high pressure performance. Harsh Metalloys offers specially designed U tube solutions in a range of grades and sizes to suit industry-specific applications in power plants, petrochemical plants, and process industries within India and worldwide.
The U tubes made of stainless steel by Harsh Metalloys are generally made from grades like 304, 304L, 316, and 316L, which contain chromium (18–20%), nickel (8–12%), and molybdenum (2–3% for 316/316L). These U tubes provide high mechanical properties with tensile strength ranging from 500–700 MPa and elongation up to 40%. The U-bend is fabricated without tapering the wall, maintaining tube integrity and promoting even flow. Their corrosion, heat, and pressure resistance make them ideal for use in high-temperature and pressure high-temperature-high-pressure applications in critical heat transfer applications.
