• No tube-wall thickness reduction

• Maintains all of the corrosion allowances of the tube-wall thickness

• The internal "bump" will break up laminar flow

• The groove profile does not include any stress risers

GROOVE TUBE CHARACTERISTICS:

The groove tube has a small, yet tightly controlled spiral bump on the inside of the tube. The spiral bump is what creates the turbulence and prevents laminar flow. This turbulence creates even temperature across the flow area, resulting in more heat transfer per foot of tube.

GROOVE TUBE CONFIGURATIONS:

There are no standard groove tube configurations. Each grooving process is custom made to meet the specific tube OD, length and heat transfer needs of the customer. By not having standard groove configurations we are free to design the groove configuration to meet your exact needs.

• Many different materials can be grooved

• The groove can be made in various sizes of tube OD & wall thickness

• The groove can have different heights and profiles

• The groove can have various pitches

• Any number of groove helixes can be made
