Why this combination

Why Titanium Grade 2 in tubes

Most widely used CP titaniumImmune to seawater and wet chlorine corrosionGood weldability and formabilityAbout 57% of the density of steel

Condenser tubes in seawater see erosion and pitting; titanium resists both and allows thin walls.

Welded B338 tube is common for large condensers.

Specification

How to specify Titanium Grade 2 tubes

OD 3 mm to about 127 mm (¼" to 5") typical, wall 0.5 mm to 12 mm; BWG or mm; straight lengths up to about 30 m, U-bent to drawing
