What is a fin tube support collar?

A finned tube support collar, also known as a finned tube clamp, round spacer box or insulation ring, is a device used to secure finned tubes within a heat exchanger or similar application. Finned tubes are commonly used to improve heat transfer in various industries including HVAC systems, power plants and oil refineries.


What is a finned tube support collar used for?

  1. The purpose of a finned tube support collar is to hold the finned tubes firmly in place, preventing them from vibrating or shifting during operation. This ensures optimum heat transfer efficiency and reduces the risk of damage to the tubes.
  2. The Finned Tube Support Collar can prevent damage to the fins when the finned tubes are assembled as supplied, and can also be used as a support when installing finned tubes on air cooled heat exchangers.
  3. Fin Tube Collars can be used in high vibration and long tube length applications. Fin Tube Collars also reduce fin wear which can lead to tube failure.
  4. The design of fin tube support collars can vary depending on the specific application and the type of fin tube used. Some collars may have adjustable features to accommodate different tube sizes or allow for easy installation and removal.

What is the main material of a Finned Tube Support Collar?

Typically, a finned tube support sleeve consists of a metal collar or clamp that surrounds the finned portion of the tube and holds it securely.

The collar is usually made from a corrosion resistant material such as stainless steel or aluminium to ensure durability and compatibility with operating conditions.

Fin Tube Clamp Material: Aluminium, Galvanised Steel, Stainless Steel, Silicone Rubber (Silicone Rubber Moulded Finned Tube Support Collar)

Finned Tube Collars offered include cast zinc, silicone, metal band and packed fin. We can also provide mid section (no fins) for customer supplied supports.

Usages of Finned Tube Support Collars

Used to fin type: Suitable for various types of finned tubes including aluminum finned tubes, extruded finned tubes, L/LL/KL finned tubes, and G-based finned tubes.

Securing Tubes

The primary function of a finned tube support collar is to hold the finned tubes firmly in place, preventing them from vibrating or shifting during operation. This ensures optimal heat transfer efficiency and reduces the risk of damage to the tubes.


Protection During Delivery and Installation

The collars prevent damage to the fins when the tubes are grouped together for delivery and act as supports during the installation of finned tubes in air-cooled heat exchangers.


High Vibration Applications

In high vibration and long tube length applications, finned tube support collars help reduce wear on the fins, which can lead to tube failure.


Adjustable Features

Depending on the application and type of finned tube, the collars may have adjustable features to accommodate different tube sizes and allow for easy installation and removal.
