Overview

At larger diameters, welded titanium pipe is the economical way to get titanium’s corrosion resistance into a pipeline. It is formed from titanium plate or strip by cold or hot forming, welded, then eddy current and ultrasonic tested. Wall thickness is uniform and lengths are cut to suit your layout.

Both thin-wall and thick-wall pipe are available in commercially pure and alloyed grades, with schedules to ASME B36.19M for standard sizes and B36.10 for non-standard sizes.

Typical applications

  • Cooling water and seawater pipelines
  • Chemical and petrochemical process piping
  • Power station auxiliary systems
  • Desalination plant pipework
