Standard Specifications Classification
| MATERIAL | TURBULATOR SHAPE | CORRESPONDING TUBE DIAMETER (DN) | TURBULATOR DIAMETER | PITCH |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel Series | Single Strip Type | DN8～DN150 | (DN-1)mm | 5×DN～12×DN |
| Titanium Alloy Series | Single Strip Type | DN8～DN150 | (DN-2)mm | 5×DN～12×DN |
| Aluminum Alloy Series | Single Strip Type, Triangular, Pentagonal | DN8～DN150 | (DN-2)mm | 5×DN～12×DN |
Note: Triangular and pentagonal types are mostly suitable for large diameter tube bundles (DN80 and above).

Copper Alloys: For special media
Aluminum Alloys: For nitrate-containing media
Turbulators provide value in various applications including: tube bundles, tube arrays, coils, water wall tubes, in-tube mixers, and (steam-steam-liquid-liquid) tubular heat exchangers.
Ordering Considerations
- Theoretically, turbulators can be made very long, but the rejection rate during manufacturing is relatively high.
- Turbulators with a diameter of less than 20mm can be packaged in coils for convenient transportation.
- Turbulators with a diameter of 20mm or more, as well as triangular and pentagonal turbulators, can only be transported in straight lengths.
- Titanium alloy turbulators have relatively high hardness and are always transported in straight lengths.
- For applications without special technical requirements, segmented turbulators can be used. They can be easily connected in use without affecting performance.
