About 10-20% of the global thermal power plant  and hydropower stations are currently applied to titanium, especially the proportion of titanium used in coastal power plants is 30-40%.

Because titanium has good corrosion resistance in seawater, especially in polluted seawater, it is particularly resistant to seawater high-speed erosion and corrosion. It is an ideal material for manufacturing power plant condensers.

The advantages of using titanium condensers in coastal power plants below: 1 )can use sea water resources on site, do not need fresh water as cooling medium;

2) remove salt and catholic protection devices;

3 )extend the life of condensers. The life of titanium condenser is 4-6 times higher than that of copper alloy condenser, and the economic benefit is very good.

4 )Increase the safe working coefficient of power station and reduce the time for power failure maintenance;

5) Reduce the wall thickness of the condenser and strengthen the process parameters. Improve the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser.

The shape of the titanium material is mainly: Titanium Seamless Tube &Pipe, Titanium Plates & Sheets, Titanium Bolts & Screws

{C}1)     Titanium Seamless Tube &Pipe

The power station mainly uses titanium pipes and seamless pipes.

The condenser titanium tube must have a high surface quality to prevent the deposition of cobalt 60 rust with a long half-life of radioactivity. To this end, thin-walled titanium tubes must undergo rigorous ultrasonic testing and eddy current testing to meet ASTM B338 standards.

The general size range is OD5-114*0.3-10*length<12000mm.

The following are some popular titanium tube and pipes sizes, generally titanium Gr1 and Gr2 tubes and pipes.

In addition to titanium tubes, special Titanium U tubes and Titanium flat tubes are used in the heat exchangers and condensers of the power station. These tubes are processed from the titanium round tube and require the customer's drawings to be produced. The general grade is Gr2, Gr9

{C}2)     Titanium Plates & Sheets

The titanium plate & sheet is mainly used to make the tube plate and the casing inside the condenser, generally using titanium ASTMB265 plate, and the thickness is generally 5-30 mm.

Common specifications and parameters are as follows. More dimensions are determined by the design of the product and the performance requirements of the product.

{C}3)     Titanium Bolts & Screws

The fastening system in the condenser, the flange between the fixed tube plate and the tube, will use a lot of titanium bolts &screws

 Titanium Gr2 and Gr7 bolts an screws are more popular
