Features and Benefits of ASTM B861 Titanium Fittings

Titanium fittings are connecting parts of piping systems. According to the classification of metal and non-metal materials, the fittings can be divided into industrial metal fittings and non-metal fittings. Industrial metal fittings are categorized into high-end metal fittings and ordinary metal fittings according to pressure resistance and corrosion resistance. Compared with ordinary metal pipe fittings, high-end metal pipe fittings have the following characteristics:

First, the pipe fittings larger caliber. Ordinary metal pipe is usually a small diameter, high-end metal pipe is usually a large caliber.

Second, the material requirements are higher. General metal pipe fittings using the material for carbon steel, high-end metal pipe fittings using the material is generally high steel grade, alloy steel, titanium, nickel, zirconium, bimetallic compliant material and other high-performance materials.

Third, the application environment is more demanding. Ordinary metal pipe fittings can be more suitable for low-pressure, room temperature environment, high-end metal pipe fittings can adapt to high-pressure, high or low temperature, corrosive and other environments, such as high temperature and high pressure collector required by the oil cracking industry, the natural gas industry requires a large-diameter push pipe fittings, high-pressure fittings used in the oil and marine platforms, caustic alkali industry requires alkali corrosion-resistant pipe fittings, pharmaceutical and chemical industries require non-polluting, acid-alkali and corrosion resistant fittings. 

Features and advantages of titanium fittings:

Titanium material itself is characterized by impermeability, low density, high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, stability and non-toxicity.

Titanium fittings are a kind of high-end metal fittings, and its natural material advantages have great market potential:.

As a substitute for stainless steel products, there is still a huge gap between the market share of titanium pipes and stainless steel fittings. In recent years, the state attaches great importance to safe production and environmental protection. The application of titanium pipe fittings can greatly extend the pipeline maintenance cycle and the service life of pipe fittings. Although the early cost of titanium pipe fittings is much higher than that of stainless steel, in the long run, the application of titanium pipe fittings can save the cost of maintenance, replacement and downtime, which is safer and more in line with the national requirements for production safety and environmental protection.

With the arrival of the national family planning policy that fully opens up to two children, and the increasing demand for healthcare products in China's aging society, the daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare industry will see a dividend period, and suppliers of titanium fittings, piping, and other products will benefit from the growth of the industry.
