Industrial – Oil & Gas
Titanium pipe and tubing are key products in this application where it is critical that the material offer corrosion resistance, high strength, and weight reduction.
Pipe and tubing systems used in the Oil and Gas Industry requires the material of choice meet several critical criteria. The material utilized in these systems must exhibit:
- excellent corrosion resistance
- high strength,
- high strength to weight
Titanium is able to address all of the above requirements based on it's inherent characteristics. Titanium Pipe and tubing is used in service water systems and fire main because of it's metallurgical capabilities, but also because it offers reduced maintenance costs, and weight reduction capabilities. In this type of application each pound of weight saved below the surface also generates a savings of three to five pounds on the platform itself and its anchoring system.
Because this environment involves high operating temperatures and pressures, titanium again is easily identified as the metal of choice.
