Titanium and titanium alloy pipes for oil and gas

Titanium and titanium alloy pipes for oil and gas

Because titanium and titanium alloys

have excellent corrosion resistance, light weight, high strength and so on, the petroleum and natural gas industries at home and abroad are gradually adopting high-performance titanium alloys instead of steel, which greatly prolongs the service life of equipment. Major foreign oil companies have already won the award for the use of titanium alloy materials in oil and gas exploration, smelting, transportation and other aspects. The excellent performance of titanium materials has brought great returns to these companies.
  Through a large number of experiments, titanium alloys TC4, TC10, TC11, TC18, TC19 can express different characteristics in different application environments, meeting the needs of specific environments in the oil and gas industry.

Pure titanium pipes  are mainly used for conduits, TC4, TC10, TC11, TC18, TC19 can be used as anti-nozzles, drilling casings and side tubes for conveying high-precision sensors and testing instruments. Considering the stability of the material, all materials should be annealed.
Since most of the pipes used in the oil and gas industry need to withstand large pressures, especially in the downhole, the design needs to increase the wall thickness to improve the pressure resistance of the pipe.

After years of experience, the impact performance of titanium pipes (especially underground materials) for oil and natural gas is an important indicator. Our company also has corresponding test parameters for reference.
