Fin Tube Products is proud to offer custom tube bending services tailored specifically for finned tubing applicationsin demanding industries such as HVAC, power generation, oil & gas, and industrial processing. With decades of experience in heat transfer technology, we understand that precision bending is not just about shaping metal — it's about ensuring performance, reliability, and efficiency in the systems our products support.

Why Are Finned Tubes Bent?

Bending finned tubes plays a critical role in heat exchanger design and system optimization. Here’s why it's essential:

✅ Optimizing Heat Transfer in Tight Spaces

Bent tubes, such as U-bends or coils, allow for maximum surface area within compact equipment footprints. This is particularly important in applications like:

• Heat recovery systems

• Radiators and condensers

• Air-cooled heat exchangers

• Compact boiler systems

By increasing the number of tube passes within a smaller volume, the heat exchange process becomes more efficient.

🔄 U-Tube Designs for Two-Pass Systems

Fin Tube Products offers bending services for U-tube configurations, which are widely used in:

• Shell-and-tube heat exchangers

• Steam generators

• Economizers

U-bends enable a single tube to handle both inbound and outbound fluid flow, simplifying design and reducing space needs while also accommodating thermal expansion.

⚙️ Stress Reduction and Durability

Bends act as expansion joints, absorbing stress caused by thermal cycling, vibration, or pressure fluctuation. This minimizes the risk of failure and extends the lifespan of the equipment.

Our Capabilities

At Fin Tube Products, our tube bending services are engineered with the following in mind:

• Compatibility with all fin types: We carefully protect fin integrity during bending for L-footed, embedded, extruded, and other fin styles.

• Precision radius control: Custom bend radii available based on application needs and space constraints.

• Wide material support: Aluminum, copper, carbon steel, stainless steel, and exotic alloys.

• Clean, distortion-free bends: Utilizing advanced tooling and mandrels to maintain wall thickness and ovality control.

Applications We Support

Our bent fin tubes are used across a wide range of industries, including:

• Petrochemical and Refining

• HVAC and Refrigeration

• Power Generation

• Marine and Offshore

• Process Manufacturing

Whether you need a single prototype or large production volumes, our team ensures each bend meets the exacting standards of your application.
