Application

Heat exchangers: Grade 2 titanium tube resistance to corrosion from various chemicals, including chlorides and acids, makes it perfect for heat exchangers in chemical processing plants.
Pressure vessels: Titanium tubing’s high strength and corrosion resistance make them ideal for pressure vessels used in chemical processing and storage.
Piping systems: Titanium tube offers excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making them reliable for transporting corrosive chemicals.
Marine applications: Grade 5 titanium tube’s resistance to seawater corrosion makes it suitable for marine applications like shipbuilding, desalination plants, and offshore structures.
Power generation: Due to their corrosion resistance and high strength, ASTM B338 titanium tubes are used in power plants for condenser tubing and other applications.
Sports equipment: Grade 9 titanium tube’s lightweight and high strength make it ideal for high-performance sports equipment, such as bicycle frames and golf clubs.
