Titanium Tee — Export Supply from Baoji Titanium Valley

A titanium tee splits or combines flow in corrosion-resistant piping. We stock equal and reducing tees in Gr2 and Gr7, ASTM B363, butt-weld, for seawater and chemical lines. Grade 2 for neutral chloride; Grade 7 for reducing or acidic service.

1. What Titanium Tee Is and Where It Is Used

Titanium Tee is specified wherever stainless steel fails by corrosion but the part must stay light, strong, or biocompatible. Typical uses:

• Seawater cooling branch lines (desalination fittings)
• Gr2 fittings chemical-process piping
• heat-exchanger fittings heat-exchanger project manifolds
• Offshore topside branch connections
• Redirected process flows in chlor-alkali plants

2. Grade Selection

: Which Titanium to Specify

Grade 2 tees — within our Gr2 fittings chemical-piping range — serve seawater and neutral chloride. Grade 7 tees — Gr7 corrosive fittings — are for corrosive, reducing media. All are butt-weld per tee/elbow/reducer stock (ASTM B363 / B16.9 dimensions) for full-strength joints.

3. Standards and Dimensions to State on the RFQ

State the governing standard, dimensions, and tolerance up front so quotes are comparable. For Titanium Tee this is usually the relevant ASTM/ASME grade plus your drawing or nominal size. Insist on mill-test certification with heat-number traceability.

4. Titanium Tee in Seawater and Chloride Service

For open, aerated seawater Grade 2 is the default; where the service is reducing, acidic, or has stagnant/creviced zones, step up to Grade 7 (Ti-0.15Pd). Keep flow velocity in the 1–2 m/s band to prevent deposit-driven crevice attack. Related reading: seawater desalination plate and Grade 7 seawater exchanger.

5. The Limitation You Must Know

: Where Titanium Tee Fails

Tee interiors create turbulence and local stagnation — a crevice-prone spot — so in low-oxygen chloride prefer Gr7 and keep velocity up. Titanium tees share the material exclusions: no dry halogen, no concentrated nitric, no fluoride. Do not pair with carbon-steel piping without insulation to avoid galvanic attack at the weld.

6. Sizing and Specification Checklist (RFQ-Ready)

1. Grade and temper (Gr2 / Gr5 / Gr7 / Gr12 / Gr23) with the reason above.
2. Dimensions — size, thickness/OD, length, or bore as applicable.
3. Standard (ASTM/ASME/EN) and tolerance class.
4. Quantity and lot — single piece or batch.
5. Surface finish — pickled, polished, machined, or as-rolled.
6. Certificate — EN 10204 3.1 with heat number.
7. NDT requirement — RT/PT/ET where the code demands it.
8. Packing and destination — export packing and freight.
9. Equal vs reducing, and branch diameter
10. Wall schedule matching the pipe

7. Common Procurement Mistakes

• Specifying Gr2 tee in a reducing/acidic branch (use Gr7)
• Leaving a dead-leg branch stagnant (crevice risk)
• Galvanic coupling to steel pipe without insulation

8. Equal vs Reducing Tee

An tee/elbow/reducer stock equal tee keeps one bore; a reducing tee steps to a smaller branch. Both are butt-welded for strength. We hold stock sizes and cut butt-weld fittings to spec to spec for non-standard take-offs.

9. Why Buy From a Baoji Titanium-Valley Stockist

We hold ~800 tons of titanium and nickel inventory in Baoji, China’s Titanium Valley, and cut to size the same day. That means small MOQ, fast dispatch, and the ability to supply both standard stock and non-standard parts to drawing — without a minimum-lot penalty. Every lot ships with MTC and export documentation.

11. FAQ — Titanium Tee

What titanium tee types do you stock?

Equal and reducing tees in Gr2 and Gr7, ASTM B363 butt-weld, stock and custom.

Which grade for a seawater branch?

Grade 2 for open seawater; Grade 7 if the branch is reducing or stagnant.

Are your tees butt-weld?

Yes — butt-weld per ASTM B363 / B16.9 for full-strength joints.

Can you make a non-standard tee?

Yes — cut and fabricated to spec, including small batches.

What about crevice at the branch?

Keep velocity up and prefer Gr7 in low-oxygen service to avoid crevice corrosion.

What certification?

EN 10204 3.1 MTC; NDT where specified.

Do you export titanium tees?

Yes — worldwide from Baoji.

Summary: Choose by Service, Not by Habit

Choose Gr2 tee if seawater or neutral chloride branch. Choose Gr7 if reducing/acidic or stagnant branch. Choose reducing tee if the branch bore is smaller than the run.
