Titanium Pipes & Tubes

What is Titanium Pipes?

Titanium stands out as a shiny transition metal because it possesses two vital characteristics which combine superior corrosion resistance with outstanding strength density ratios that match steel's strength at half its weight. Titanium maintains excellent ductility and low density when placed in an environment without oxygen. Different titanium alloy grades form the basis of Titanium Pipe and Tubes production. Commercial titanium grades exist alongside titanium alloy grades. Titanium pipes follow specifications that include ASTM B337 and ASTM B338. The titanium pipe and tube market includes seamless, welded and ERW and fabricated pipe and tube types.

What is Titanium Tube?

Titanium Tube exists as an alloy which demonstrates exceptional strength compared to its weight. The titanium alloy tubing demonstrates excellent ductility as one of its properties. The titanium tubing shows a paramagnetic response in its content. The electrical and thermal conductivity of titanium tubes stands significantly lower than other metal materials. The Titanium Tube demonstrates superior smoothness by featuring minimal absolute roughness. Grade 5 titanium stands as the most commonly employed grade among all titanium grades. The Grade 2 Titanium Tubing belongs to the category of commercially pure grades.

Titanium Product Types:

Seamless Titanium Pipes:

Seamless titanium pipes are the strongest type of titanium pipe. They are made without any welded seams, which produces a highly robust and uniform structure. These pipes are renowned for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, boasting tensile strengths ranging from approximately 30,000 psi to 200,000 psi, comparable to many alloy steel grades. Titanium Seamless Pipe is distinguished by a high strength-to-weight ratio. In an oxygen-free area, it is very ductile and has a low density. These properties make seamless titanium pipes highly sought after in industries like aerospace, chemical processing, and oil and gas, where high performance and reliability are paramount.

Welded Titanium Tubes:

Welded titanium tubes, including those produced through Electric Fusion Welding (EFW), present a viable, cost-effective alternative to their monolithic cousins, with no appreciable loss in titanium's high-strength, low-weight, and corrosion-resistant characteristics. These tubes are formed by welding titanium sheets or strips, maintaining the material's lightweight nature (56% the density of steel) and high corrosion resistance, often comparable to platinum as per ASME SB337. They also develop the protective oxide surface film when exposed to air, enhancing their resistance to corrosive environments. Welded titanium tubes adhere to standards like ASTM B337 and ASTM B338. When you consider the weldability and formability of titanium, along with its lightweight and corrosion-resistant nature, the tubes coming off this lineup could find application in a wide variety of industrial settings, especially in oil refineries and petrochemical plants, where they could serve as heat exchangers, condensers, and tubing for other uses.
