Titanium Pipe Fittings
Titanium pipe fittings are renowned for their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, and ability to perform in extreme environments. These qualities make titanium fittings an ideal choice for industries such as aerospace, marine, medical, chemical processing, and power generation, where durable and lightweight materials are essential.
Key Benefits of Titanium Pipe Fittings
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Titanium resists corrosion from seawater, acids, and chlorides, making it perfect for marine and chemical applications.
- High Strength and Low Weight: Titanium offers a strong, lightweight alternative to steel and other metals, providing structural integrity without excessive weight.
- High-Temperature Resistance: Titanium retains its strength and stability at high temperatures, making it suitable for applications involving extreme heat.
- Biocompatibility: Titanium is non-toxic and biocompatible, making it an excellent choice for medical applications, including implants and prosthetics.
Types of Titanium Pipe Fittings
Our range of titanium pipe fittings includes various shapes and types to meet specific piping needs:
- Elbows: Available in 45° and 90° angles, titanium elbows change the flow direction in a piping system while withstanding high pressures and corrosion.
- Tees: These fittings allow the connection of three pipes and are available as equal and reducing tees for different flow requirements.
- Reducers: Concentric and eccentric reducers connect pipes of different diameters, ensuring a smooth flow of fluids.
- Caps: Pipe caps close off the end of a pipe, effectively sealing the system and preventing fluid or gas escape.
- Stub Ends: Commonly used with lap joint flanges, stub ends allow easy disassembly and reassembly of piping systems.
- Crosses: Used in complex piping layouts, crosses enable four-way branch connections.
- Nipples: Short lengths of pipe with threaded ends, commonly used to connect fittings or extend piping systems.
Grades for Titanium Pipe Fittings
We offer titanium pipe fittings in various grades to meet the demands of different applications:
- Grade 1: Known for excellent formability and high corrosion resistance, ideal for applications in chemical processing and marine industries.
- Grade 2: The most commonly used grade, offering a balance of strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for a range of industrial applications.
- Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V): The strongest titanium alloy, known for high heat resistance, often used in aerospace and automotive applications.
- Grade 7: Enhanced with palladium for superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for highly corrosive environments.
- Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI): A biocompatible titanium alloy with excellent fatigue strength, ideal for medical implants and prosthetics.
Applications of Titanium Pipe Fittings
- Aerospace: Titanium pipe fittings are used in aircraft hydraulic systems, fuel systems, and structural components due to their strength and lightweight properties.
- Chemical Processing: Titanium’s resistance to acids and corrosive chemicals makes it ideal for piping systems in chemical plants and refineries.
- Marine and Offshore: Titanium pipe fittings are used in seawater cooling systems, desalination plants, and offshore oil platforms due to their resistance to seawater corrosion.
