Titanium Tube & Pipe Supply
Titanium tubing should be purchased by application, product standard, manufacturing route and inspection requirement—not by grade name alone. We organize quotations around the buyer's confirmed RFQ and project documentation.
Titanium Seamless Tube & Pipe
Seamless titanium tubing for heat transfer, chemical processing, pressure service and corrosion-resistant industrial systems.

Titanium Welded Tube & Pipe
Welded titanium products for project-specific sizes, process systems and approved heat-transfer applications.

Titanium Heat Exchanger Tube
ASTM B338-oriented tubing for condensers, evaporators, coolers and shell-and-tube heat exchangers.

| Grade | Typical procurement direction | Buyer note |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 | Commercially pure titanium with high ductility | Confirm strength and corrosion requirements against the project specification |
| Grade 2 | Widely used commercially pure titanium for industrial corrosion service | Common starting point for heat exchangers, seawater and chemical equipment |
| Grade 7 | Palladium-alloyed commercially pure titanium | Consider where the approved corrosion review requires enhanced resistance in selected aggressive environments |
| Grade 9 | Ti-3Al-2.5V alloy with higher strength than commercially pure grades | Use only when the specified product standard and application permit it |
| Grade 12 | Titanium alloy containing nickel and molybdenum | Used in selected chemical, chloride and crevice-corrosion applications subject to engineering approval |
For chloride-service material selection, see Grade 2 vs Grade 12 Titanium Tube.
Titanium Tube Standards: do not mix tube and pipe specifications
ASTM B338 is a primary specification for seamless and welded titanium and titanium-alloy tubes used in condensers, evaporators and heat exchangers. General corrosion-resistant process piping may use different product specifications, such as ASTM B861 for seamless titanium pipe or ASTM B862 for welded titanium pipe, when specified by the purchaser.
| Specification | Product scope | Procurement use |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM B338 | Seamless and welded titanium/titanium-alloy tubes for condensers and heat exchangers | Heat exchanger, condenser, evaporator and cooler tube RFQs |
| ASTM B861 | Titanium and titanium-alloy seamless pipe | General corrosion-resistant or elevated-temperature seamless pipe service |
| ASTM B862 | Titanium and titanium-alloy welded pipe | General corrosion-resistant welded pipe service |
| ASME material specifications | Code-adopted material specifications where applicable | Use the exact code/project specification stated by the purchaser |

Titanium Tube Applications
Heat Exchangers
Titanium heat-transfer tubes for shell-and-tube exchangers, evaporators, coolers and process equipment.
Condensers
Long fixed-length tubes for power, seawater-cooled and industrial condenser projects.
Seawater & Desalination
Corrosion-resistant tubing for seawater cooling, desalination and marine heat-transfer systems.
Chemical Processing
Tubing for chloride-containing and corrosive industrial process streams where titanium is approved by engineering.
Power & Industrial Cooling
Tube supply for condensers, coolers and heat-recovery equipment subject to the project design.
Custom Equipment
Tube material integrated into fabricated titanium equipment, piping and project-specific assemblies.
Inspection, Traceability & Documentation
For industrial and EPC procurement, define inspection before production. Depending on the applicable standard and PO, the package may include material certification, heat/lot traceability, dimensional inspection, nondestructive testing, pressure testing, PMI where specified, third-party inspection and export packing records.
Use our ASTM B338 Titanium Tube Inspection Checklist to prepare the ITP and release-document requirements.
Seamless vs Welded Titanium Tube
Do not assume that seamless is always required or that welded is always equivalent. Manufacturing route should be selected from the governing standard, service conditions, tube dimensions, inspection scope and purchaser specification.
