All products are purchased to proprietary customized specifications as well as normal industry standards with supporting documentation.
Snap rings are used in conjunction with boiler tube erosion shields, which is a clip that easily installs boiler tube erosion shields to the tube.
The snap ring and boiler tube erosion shields are overlapped and welded, generally about 190-200 degrees erosion shields is a 180-degree semicircle), but also leave a welding position for easy welding and fixing. Generally, each piece of boiler tube erosion shields needs to be equipped with 2-4 snap rings with a pitch of 200-500mm.
The anti-wear snap ring is also called a clamp, buckle, tube clamp, etc.
The main role of the anti-wear tile snap ring: the role of fixing the anti-wear tile to avoid problems such as the anti-wear tile falling off during installation.
The types of common anti-wear tile rings can be divided into: u-shaped lap type snap ring, butt-type semicircular snap ring.
Install erosion shields with snap ring
The snap ring is a short section that is installed on the pipe in conjunction with the wear-resistant tile. Generally, it is welded to the wear-resistant tile by lap welding, that is, to cover the wear-resistant tile slightly, so it is larger than the wear-resistant tile. The opening arc is around 190-200 degrees, the welding position needs to be set aside to facilitate welding and fixing. The width of the snap ring must not be less than 20mm.
The installation requirements of anti-friction tiles of different shapes are slightly different. Basically, each anti-friction tile is installed with not less than 2-4 snap rings. The snap ring and the anti-friction tile are welded together to prevent expansion due to heat. The tiles fall off, and the joints are required to be fully welded.
Advantages
Tube shields are custom made to fit perfectly to straight sections, curved sections and even finned and specialised tubing.
Boiler tube erosion shields, also known as anti-corrosion shields, anti-wear plate, anti-wear protection shields, anti-wear cover plate, anti-corrosion cover plate, boiler climbing pipe, anti-wear pressure plate, etc. , which are used in combination with snap rings.
Boiler tube erosion shields are produced using a high-pressure press and professional mould pressing. The production time is short, the welding performance is good, the welding should not fall off, the surface is smooth, and the appearance is beautiful. Boiler tube erosion shields with bends are formed by pressing on a press or bending with a special abrasive on a tube bender.
Boiler tube shields are designed to eliminate major maintenance and downtime costs from boiler and condenser tube failure.
Material
Different types of stainless steel are selected according to the specific conditions of different working conditions. Common materials are: TP321 (Cr18Ni9Ti), TP309S (Cr23Ni13), 1Cr20Ni14Si2, TP310S (Cr25Ni20), 1Cr25Ni20Si2, and some low temperature areas (such as low temperature superheater, low temperature reheater) are made of 1Cr13, 1Cr6Si2Mo and other materials.
The boiler was originally designed to be accurate. Different materials have different temperature resistance and mechanical strength. 1Cr13, 1Cr6Si2Mo generally has a temperature resistance of 600 ℃ or less.
Main material of tube erosion shields
| Material（Grade） | Temperature resistance | Yield strength | Tensile strength | Elongation | HB | HRB | HV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1Cr18Ni9Ti | 925 ℃ | ≥205MPa | ≥520MPa | ≥40% | ≤187 | ≤90 | ≤200 |
| Cr23Ni13 | 1095 ℃ | ≥205MPa | ≥520MPa | ≥40% | ≤187 | ≤90 | ≤200 |
| 1Cr20Ni14Si2 | 1095 ℃ | --- | ≥590MPa | ≥40% | --- | --- | --- |
| Cr25Ni20 | 1150 ℃ | ≥205MPa | ≥520MPa | ≥40% | ≤187 | ≤90 | ≤200 |
| 1Cr25Ni20Si2 | 1150 ℃ | --- | ≥540MPa | ≥35% | --- | --- | --- |
Application
Tube erosion shields are mainly used on the windward side of the heating surface of the boiler, such as superheaters, reheaters, economizers, and water-cooled wall pipes. The main role is to protect the heating surface of the boiler pipes, reduce pipeline wear, and increase the heating surface of the pipes.
Erosion shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.
We offer shielding for tubing, covering straight, bent and finned sections, as well as the clips that hold these in place.
In the long term, these shields more than pay for themselves, preventing the costly replacement of tubing and avoiding the downtime that results from tube breakdown and leaks.
In general, most of them are called “wear-resistant tile” and “wear-resistant cover plate”. Erosion Shields are special boiler accessories.
Generally, most of them are used in power station boilers, small boilers are used less, and some coal chemical industries will also use them.
