The titanium pipe is light in weight, high in strength and superior in mechanical properties.
Titanium is an important structural metal developed in the 1950s.
Titanium alloy pipes are widely used in various fields because of their high specific strength, good corrosion resistance and high heat resistance.
Without further ado, let’s jump straight to know what is the titanium pipe.
- Outstanding corrosion resistance
- Superior strength-to-weight ratios
- Low density
- High heat-resistance
- High heat transfer capability
- Very good oxidation capabilities
- High melting point
- Low elasticity module
- Excellent erosion resistance
- Low thermal expansion coefficient
What Is Titanium Pipe Used For?
Titanium pipe is widely used in heat exchange equipment, such as shell and tube heat exchangers, coil heat exchangers, serpentine heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators and conveying pipes, etc.
Many nuclear power industries use titanium tubing as standard tubes for their units.
