Frequently Asked Questions
Technical Questions
Q: What is the difference between seamless and welded titanium tubes?
A: Seamless tubes are extruded or pilgered from solid billets, making them ideal for high-pressure applications. Welded tubes are formed from strip and longitudinally welded, offering cost advantages for certain applications while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance.
Q: How do I select the right titanium grade for my application?
A: Grade selection depends on corrosion environment, mechanical requirements, and fabrication needs. Grade 2 suits most industrial applications, while Grade 7 offers superior acid resistance. Our technical team can provide specific recommendations based on your operating conditions.
Q: What are the temperature limitations of titanium tubes?
A: Commercially pure grades (1-4) are generally suitable up to 300°C, while Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) can withstand temperatures up to 400°C. Specific limits depend on environment and stress levels.
