ASTM A179 refers to a standard specification for seamless cold-drawn low-carbon steel tubes used in heat exchangers, condensers, and similar heat transfer applications. These tubes are known for their excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical properties.

When combined with AL1060 fins, the product becomes an embedded finned tube, which is a type of heat exchanger tube designed to enhance heat transfer efficiency.

ASTM A179 Tube:

• Material: Low-carbon steel
• Properties: High thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, and excellent mechanical strength
• Application: Commonly used in heat exchangers, condensers, and boilers

AL1060 Fins:

• Material: Aluminum alloy 1060 (99.6% aluminum)
• Properties: High thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and lightweight
• Application: Fins are attached to the tube to increase the surface area for better heat transfer

Embedded Finned Tubes Construction:

• The fin strip is wound into a groove pre-cut on the tube surface
• Fins are secured through a rolling process that locks them into the groove
• The fins (AL1060) are embedded onto the outer surface of the ASTM A179 tube
• Purpose: Increases effective surface area for improved heat transfer efficiency

• High Heat Transfer Efficiency: Combination of steel tubes and aluminum fins maximizes heat exchange
• Corrosion Resistance: AL1060 fins provide excellent resistance to harsh environments
• Durability: ASTM A179 tubes offer mechanical strength with long-term performance

• Air Coolers and Heaters: Used in industrial air cooling and heating systems
• Condensers: Suitable for refrigeration systems and power plant steam condensation
• Evaporators: Used in HVAC systems, refrigeration, and industrial processes
• HVAC Heat Exchangers: Efficient heat transfer for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
• Waste Heat Recovery Units: Reclaim heat in chemical plants and power generation facilities
• Petrochemical Processes: Maintain process temperatures for chemical reactions
