Production of half pipe sleeve
Our half pipe sleeve are manufactured from the best quality carbon steel material. We pride ourselves on making the half sole by rolling, die forming and step braking and they never undergo heat treating. Thus making our expertise & technique best in the industry. If a client specifically asks for longitudinal edges of the half pipe sleeve to be beveled for welding, it can be done. Half pipe sleeves ends have shaved square edges to enable fillet welding, although square end bevel can also be made as per client specification. Our for repair sleeves are made with carbon steel plates with low carbon equivalency to ensure good weld ability.
Milling of half pipe sleeve for backing strips
Half Pipe Sleeve can be milled on the inside longitudinal edges for the backing strips. Depth of 1/16″ (.0625) -0″ + 1/32″ and width of 5/8″ (.625) -0 + 1/16″ on each side. Outside longitudinal edges are beveled 30° (+5° – 0° ) for welding.
Backing Strips
Backing strips are hot rolled commercial carbon steel sheet and strip of commercial quality, A-569/A1011 SS GR33 in coils and cut lengths having a maximum carbon of 0.15%. 1 1/4″ wide, 16 gauge (.0598) with a tolerance of: min. .0538 – max. 0658, 10′ long, pre-crimped (10 degree total bend).
Customization of half pipe sleeve
We can manufacture half pipe sleeve in any custom steel grades and of any size as per the application & requirement of the customer.
Inspection Of Half Pipe Sleeves
Every half sleeve is meticulously examined and inspected for defects before delivery. The shipment is thoroughly tested and verified for durability and stability.
Our quality experts first review the entire shipment of half pipe sleeves before we dispatch them to our clients. Parts that do not meet our strict standards are rejected and not shipped.
Mechanical properties and testing
Mill test reports will be furnished on all materials. Stock plate is not available with a maximum hardness guarantee. Independent testing may be performed to check the hardness on stock plate. Additional independent testing available to include: destructive, magnetic particle, liquid penetrate, ultrasonic and radiographic.
Dimensional requirements
Longitudinal edges are beveled to 30 degrees (+5 degrees -0 degrees), with a root face (land) of 1/16″ (+-1/32″). This will be a mechanical type bevel or by plasma torch burning. Beveled ends are available upon request. Inside diameter of each Half Pipe Sleeve is fabricated to match the outside diameter of standard nominal line pipe. Half Pipe Sleeve are manufactured so that when two halves of the sleeve are placed on the pipe, their total circumference shall equal the circumference of the pipe minus a gap between the longitudinal edges on either side of 1/16″ (-1/16″+1/32″) for welding.
Marking & shipping of half pipe sleeve
Every half sleeve pipe is marked for the size, thickness, dimension & grade of steel before shipping across India & abroad. Any half sleeve pipe not meeting the requirements for visual inspection or dimensional tolerance are rejected.

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.

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.
Service life
The service life of boiler tube erosion shields is different in different types of boilers and different use parts. The normal service life is a period of overhaul (3-5 years) for the boiler. Generally, some boilers will be replaced or retrofitted every time the boiler is overhauled. The main replacements are those of the boiler tube erosion shields that are severely thinned and exceeded the standard; those that were not firmly detached during the boiler operation during the previous installation. According to the wear of the boiler tube erosion shields during replacement, if the thickness is severely reduced, it needs to be replaced, the deformation is severe, and those that cannot protect the tube also need to be replaced. In addition, some boiler tubes are not equipped with boiler tube erosion shields, but during the boiler inspection, it is found that the tubes have a tendency to wear and thinning. Generally, boiler tube erosion shields are also installed to prevent further wear of the tubes and cause serious consequences such as boiler explosions.
On the heating surface of superheated and the economizer tube bundle of the boiler, in order to prevent the pipe from being worn by high temperature flue gas washing, boiler tube erosion shields are mostly arranged on the outer side of the pipe in the direction of flue gas flow. The elbow erosion shields solves the abrasion problems of water wall tubes, superheater tubes, economizer tubes and reheater tubes in the furnace, and provides a guarantee for the long-term and reliable operation of CFB boiler. With the increase of CFB boiler products, the type and quantity of the elbow erosion shields will increase.
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.
