CONCERNS – Cu-Ni Erosion Reduced Water Flow - Limited to 6–12 ft/sec (Larger Size Pipe & Fittings for Cooling Water Volume)
Fire Lower Melting Point – 2065 0F – 2200 0F
Toxicity Chlorination Used for Cleaning Cu-Ni Systems is Toxic, Forming Cupric Chloride - Poisoning Port Waters (Limits the Ship’s Days in U.S. Ports & EPA Restrictions)
Weight
Life-Cycle Cost
Service Failures
Cu-Ni Requires System Replacements (Tear Down & Replacement Labor & Material Costs)
De-Salination Units in Mid & Far-East (High Maintenance or Fail / Corrode After Few Years)
Doubles (& More) for Pipe & Fittings’ Systems
Performance metal solutions.
SOLUTIONS - Titanium Highly Resistant to Erosion Water Velocity~20-100 ft/sec Allows Reduced Pipe Sizes & Reduces Weight
High Melting Point 1660 0C (3020 0F)
Non-Toxic I– Chlorination Has No Effect on Titanium. No Metal Carryover. Immune to Chlorides. High Velocity Water Flow – Option (w/o any Erosion)
Marine/Navy Lasts the Life of The Ship & More. Remove, Clean and Re-Use in Another Pipe System
Reduced Weight 57% to 72% Using Reduced Pipe Size. Both OD & Wall Factor In Weights. 50% From Density Alone (0.163 lbs/in3 vs. 0.323 lbs/in3)
Titanium Tubes Replace Cu-Ni in De-Salination Units
Performance metal solutions.
CORROSION RESISTANCE - TITANIUM Immune to: Seawater/Brackish & Polluted Waters Immune to: MIC (Microbiologically Induced/Influenced Corrosion) Fully Resistant: Crevice Corrosion< 80 0C (175 0F) SCC (Stress Corrosion Cracking) Pitting Cavitation 50 Years of Trouble-Free Seawater Service in Chemical, Oil Refining & De-Salination Systems Titanium Replaced Cu-Ni in Off-Shore Firemain & Service Water Piping Systems Performance metal solutions.
EROSION RESISTANCE - TITANIUM Tenacious Stable (ceramic-like) Oxide Film Instantaneous Re-Healing Superior Resistance to: Abrasion Impingement Attack Erosion Erosion – Corrosion Turbulence Cavitation High Fluid Velocities: Seawater: 90 - 120 ft/sec Sand-Laden Seawater: 15 - 20+ ft/sec [ Cu-Ni – Seawater Velocity approx. 6 to 12 ft/sec ]
