Dual containment designs

In the world of chemical processing, titanium piping systems have been found to be very cost-effective methods of resisting damaging corrosion in the process line. The following information is provided as background on Titanium, the alloy’s characteristics, strengths and how consideration of Titanium Pipe could be the key to corrosion avoidance in your application.

Life Cycle Benefits of Titanium Piping:

Salts, acids and other seriously corrosive chemicals are severely damaging to lesser materials than Titanium. These corrosives can rapidly cause the equipment to decline and fail. This leads to equipment repair or requires unit replacement, and consequentially expensive and highly disruptive process stoppage.

While initial purchase cost is higher than some other materials (graphite, ceramic, PTFE or glass), titanium piping system will be highly cost effective over the equipment life cycle. Properly maintained, titanium piping systems can operate for decades, making Titanium a very economical choice.

Titanium Pipe can:

1. Provide many years of economical service life

2. Eliminate expensive production interruption due to equipment failure

3. Provide superior corrosion resistance

4. Deliver high heat transfer efficiency

5. Accommodate high steam pressure

6. Remove possibilities of process fluid leaks with fully-welded metal construction
