ASTM B861 Titanium Seamless Tube Specifications
ASTM B861 is the specification for titanium and titanium alloy seamless pipe. The applicable edition, grade, dimensions, tolerances, delivery condition and inspection requirements should be agreed in the purchase order. "Pipe" and "tube" are both used in commercial searches; the dimensional requirements for an order should be stated clearly rather than relying on the product name alone.
| Item | Supply information |
|---|---|
| Product type | Titanium and titanium alloy seamless pipe / tube |
| Product standard | ASTM B861 (applicable edition to be confirmed in the order) |
| Available grades | Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 5, Grade 7, Grade 9 and Grade 12 |
| Dimensions | Outside diameter, wall thickness and length: confirm against the required size and production feasibility |
| Delivery condition | To be specified and confirmed according to grade, size and purchase requirements |
| Inspection and documents | Material test certificate and agreed inspection records; additional tests or third-party inspection by agreement |
Please send a drawing or a dimensional list for confirmation. No fixed OD, wall-thickness or length range is stated here because the available production range must be confirmed for each grade and order.
What Is ASTM B861?
ASTM B861 covers seamless titanium and titanium alloy pipe. It provides requirements for material grades and product characteristics that are relevant to procurement and quality verification. When specifying ASTM B861 titanium seamless pipe, buyers should identify the grade and required dimensions, and confirm the applicable standard edition and supplementary requirements with the supplier.
ASTM B861 should not be confused with ASTM B338 titanium tube. The standards have different product scopes and should be referenced according to the product and its intended specification. A product page or grade name alone does not establish compliance with a particular standard; compliance must be supported by the agreed order requirements and inspection documentation.
Available Grades of ASTM B861 Titanium Tubes
TSM Technology can discuss the following grades for ASTM B861 seamless pipe and tube enquiries. Final availability, standard compliance and delivery condition are subject to confirmation for the requested size and order.
Known for high formability and good corrosion resistance in suitable environments.
View Grade 1 Titanium TubeA commonly specified commercially pure grade offering a balance of corrosion resistance, formability and strength.
View Grade 2 Titanium TubeA titanium alloy selected where higher strength is required; confirm the applicable product specification and condition.
View Grade 5 Titanium TubeUsed for selected corrosion-service applications where the environment and design conditions support its use.
View Grade 7 Titanium TubeA medium-strength alloy used in applications requiring a combination of strength and formability.
View Grade 9 Titanium TubeContains molybdenum and nickel additions and is considered for certain demanding corrosion-service conditions.
View Grade 12 Titanium TubeThe linked grade pages are related product references. Some are presented under ASTM B338 or a general grade-specific product scope; they must not be interpreted as proof that every linked item is supplied to ASTM B861. State ASTM B861 explicitly in your enquiry and purchase order when that standard is required.
Manufacturing Process
The production route is selected according to the titanium grade, starting material, dimensions and required condition. A typical seamless tube route may include the following operations:
- Raw material selection: Review the grade, heat identification and incoming material documentation.
- Billet preparation and heating: Prepare and heat the billet under controlled process conditions.
- Piercing and tube forming: Form the hollow billet and reduce it through suitable rolling or sizing operations.
- Sizing and straightening: Control the specified dimensions, straightness and surface condition.
- Heat treatment and surface finishing: Apply the agreed processing condition and finishing route where required.
- Cutting and final inspection: Cut to the ordered length, verify agreed characteristics and prepare the product for packing.
Quality Inspection and Testing
Inspection is arranged according to the applicable ASTM B861 edition, product dimensions, order specification and customer requirements. The inspection plan should identify which tests are mandatory for the order and which are supplementary or optional.
- Chemical analysis: Verification of the material heat chemistry against the specified grade requirements.
- Mechanical testing: Tests such as tensile testing when required by the applicable specification and order.
- Dimensional inspection: Verification of outside diameter, wall thickness, length and agreed tolerances.
- Visual and surface inspection: Examination of surface condition and workmanship.
- Additional NDT or pressure testing: Ultrasonic, eddy-current, hydrostatic or other examinations only when applicable to the standard, product and agreed purchase requirements.
Inspection scope should be confirmed before production. TSM can coordinate additional inspection or third-party inspection when agreed for the order.
Applications of Titanium Seamless Pipe
Depending on titanium grade, fluid chemistry, temperature, pressure and design requirements, titanium seamless pipe may be considered for applications such as:
- Seawater circulation lines and seawater-side piping in heat-exchange systems
- Brine transfer lines and selected piping sections in desalination plants
- Condenser and heat-exchanger piping systems
- Acid transfer and chemical circulation lines where titanium compatibility has been confirmed
- Process piping connected to chemical reactors, tanks and separation equipment
- Cooling-water piping in marine and coastal industrial facilities
Titanium is not universally resistant to every chemical or operating condition. Confirm corrosion data, crevice conditions, temperature, concentration, flow velocity and design limits with a qualified engineer before material selection.
