Introduction to Titanium Grade 2 Pipe Fittings

Titanium Grade 2 pipe fittings are essential components in industries that demand exceptional corrosion resistance, high strength, and lightweight durability. Made from commercially pure titanium (UNS R50400), these fittings are widely used in chemical processing, marine, oil & gas, aerospace, and power generation applications.

 

At Titanium Industries, we supply a full range of Grade 2 Titanium Pipe Fittings, including elbows, tees, reducers, couplings, and flanges, all manufactured to meet ASME B16.9, ASTM B363, and EN 10204.3.1 standards. Our fittings are available in Schedule 10S (Light) and Schedule 40S (Standard) to accommodate various pressure and flow requirements.

 

Key Benefits of Titanium Grade 2 Pipe Fittings

1. Superior Corrosion Resistance

Resists pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking in harsh environments, including seawater, chlorides, acids, and alkaline solutions.

 

Ideal for chemical plants, desalination, offshore platforms, and marine applications.

 

2. High Strength & Lightweight Properties

45% lighter than steel with comparable strength, reducing structural load in piping systems.

 

Excellent fatigue resistance, making it suitable for high-vibration applications.

 

3. Biocompatibility & Non-Toxicity

Safe for pharmaceutical, food processing, and medical applications due to non-reactive properties.

 

4. Compliance with Global Standards

ASME B16.9 / B16.11 – Ensures dimensional accuracy for butt-weld and threaded fittings.

 

ASTM B363 / B381 – Certifies material quality and weldability.

 

EN 10204.3.1 – Provides material traceability for European markets.

 

5. Long Service Life & Low Maintenance

Titanium’s natural oxide layer prevents degradation, reducing replacement costs.

 

Common Types of Titanium Grade 2 Pipe Fittings

1. Titanium Grade 2 Elbows (90° & 45°)

Used to change flow direction in piping systems.

 

Available in short-radius (SR) and long-radius (LR) configurations.

 

2. Titanium Grade 2 Tees (Straight & Reducing)

Allows flow division in piping networks.

 

Straight tees maintain uniform diameter, while reducing tees connect different pipe sizes.

 

3. Titanium Grade 2 Reducers (Concentric & Eccentric)

Concentric reducers maintain a centered flow path.

 

Eccentric reducers prevent air accumulation in pump suction lines.

 

4. Titanium Grade 2 Couplings & Unions

Used for connecting pipes securely with butt-weld, threaded, or socket-weld ends.

 

5. Titanium Grade 2 Flanges (Slip-On, Weld Neck, Blind)

Designed for high-pressure sealing in industrial piping systems.

 

Applications of Titanium Grade 2 Pipe Fittings

Due to their corrosion resistance and durability, these fittings are used in:

✔ Chemical & Petrochemical Plants – Handling sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and chlorides.

✔ Marine & Offshore Systems – Seawater cooling, ballast systems, and subsea pipelines.

✔ Aerospace & Defense – Hydraulic and fuel systems requiring lightweight strength.

✔ Power Generation – Condensers, heat exchangers, and geothermal piping.

✔ Pharmaceutical & Food Processing – Hygienic, non-reactive fluid transfer.
