What Strong Corrosive Chemical Media Are Titanium Tubes Suitable For?

Titanium tubes are widely used in processing strong corrosive chemical media due to their outstanding corrosion resistance and long-term stability, even under elevated temperatures and concentrations. Common suitable media include:

1. Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄): Excellent resistance across a wide range of concentrations and temperatures; ideal for acid concentration units and condensers.

2. Hydrochloric Acid (HCl): Good corrosion resistance in dilute to moderate concentrations; used in recovery and cooling systems.

3. Nitric Acid (HNO₃): Forms a protective oxide film in concentrated nitric acid, providing superior corrosion resistance.

4. Phosphoric Acid (H₃PO₄): Titanium tubes are widely used in phosphate fertilizer and wet-process phosphoric acid systems.

5. Organic Acids (e.g., Formic, Acetic, Oxalic Acid): Titanium exhibits excellent stability against various organic acids used in fine chemical production.

6. Chlorinated Organics and Chlorine Gas: Titanium shows high resistance to chlorine-induced stress corrosion and is suitable for chlorination processes.

7. Alkalis (e.g., NaOH, KOH): Titanium provides moderate resistance in some alkaline environments, applicable in selective caustic heat exchange systems.

These properties make titanium tubing an ideal choice for chemical plants requiring high reliability, corrosion resistance, and long service life.
