G Fin (Embedded fin)
The fin strip is wound into a machined groove on the tube surface and securely locked into place by back filling
with base tube material. This offers exceptional heat transfer efficiency at
higher tube metal temperature.

L Fin
L-shaped strip gives optimum contact pressure of the fin foot onto the base tube thus improving the heat transfer
L-shaped strip gives optimum contact pressure of the fin foot onto the base tube thus improving the heat transfer
efficiency.This also gives considerable corrosion protection to the base tube.

Same as L Fin except the fin foot is overlapped giving more corrosion protection. This type of finned tube is often
used as an alternative to the more expensive extruded type fin in corrosive environments.

Same as L Fin except that the base tube is knurled before application of the fin foot. After application, the fin foot is
knurled into the corresponding knurling on the base tube thereby enhancing the bond between the fin and tube,
resulting in improved heat transfer characteristics.
