Wieland GEWA-H Finned Tubes
High finned tubes for significantly enlarged outside surface
Wieland GEWA-H are high finned tubes and have a much greater outer surface than smooth tubes. This allows particularly compact designs. They are made of copper, copper alloys or aluminum alloys and resist very high mechanical and thermal stress.
GEWA-HB versions have a core tube made of a different material than the outer finned tube.

GEWA-HB | Bimetallic tube
Carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, copper and copper alloys can be used as materials for the core tube. Materials susceptible to stress corrosion cracking are not recommended.
- Heating (gas-fired boilers, flue gas condensers)
- Machinery and plant technology (oil coolers, mine coolers, air coolers for diesel engines)
- Power plants (air coolers, cooling towers)
- Nuclear engineering
Production Process
The fins are obtained by roll forming the outer surface of a plain tube. This process results in an increase of strength in the finned sections, whereas the plain ends remain soft.
High finned tubes require materials which can be easily cold worked such as aluminum and copper. Aluminum and aluminum alloys allow up to 15 mm fin height, copper up to 10 mm. Soft annealing of the finned tubes is necessary if they must be suitable for bending and coiling.
If required, GEWA-HB bimetallic tubes have a core tube on the inside made of a different material. In that case, the outer tube is rolled onto the core tube so as to provide for a firm bond and good thermal contact between the tubes.
The maximum operating temperature is defined in each case because of the difference in thermal expansion between the core tube and the finned tube. At operating temperatures above + 250 °C a reduction in heat transfer is possible.
In further processing GEWA-H and GEWA-HB finned tubes are expanded, welded or soldered into tube plates or can be sealed with O-rings.
