French term or phrase: Les tubes du four
Le four H-101 fournit la chaleur pour le stabilisateur de pétrole brut avec un historique d'encrassement des tubes, résultant à la hausse de la température de peau des tubes qui s'approchent à des limites supérieures de fonctionnement acceptable. Le fonctionnement des tubes du four à une température excessivement haute pendant des longues périodes de temps se traduira par un échec des tubes et finira par la perte du four pour une période de temps prolongée.

heater tubes


Explanation:
Stricly speaking, heat exchanger tubes, since heat is being exchanged between the hot combustion gases on the inside of the tubes with the physically separate fluid on the outside. I hesitate to suggest "boiler tube", though what is being described here is indeed quite similar in principle to a steam boiler.

furnace tubes


Explanation:
By the 1990s, several refiners began to report sulfidic corrosion in equipment such as piping and reboiler FURNACE TUBES in fractionation and distillation facilities downstream from hydrotreaters and hydrocrackers.

Many data points were from FURNACE TUBE corrosion rates that may have been based on process stock temperature and thus not have accurately represented the true metal, or inside surface,temperature.

steel FURNACE TUBES have provided reliable service in crude distillation unit charge heaters and coker furnaces, which can have TUBE-SKIN metal temperatures that are even higher.

Notice that mention is made of ''tube skins'', which would correspond to ''peau des tubes'' in your French text.
