What Are Titanium Threaded Fittings? Types and Ordering Basics
Titanium threaded fittings are compact piping components with internal or external pipe threads. They are used when corrosion resistance, low mass and detachable or space-efficient joints are required. The term covers several products, and each has a different function.
Main Product Types
| Product | Function | Important RFQ detail |
|---|---|---|
| Threaded elbow | Changes direction | 45° or 90° and both end sizes |
| Threaded tee | Creates or combines a branch | Run and branch sizes |
| Threaded coupling | Joins two male-threaded ends | Full or reducing bore |
| Threaded union | Provides a separable three-piece joint | Seat and sealing arrangement |
| Pipe nipple | Connects two female ports and sets spacing | Wall, overall length and threaded length |
Material and Standards
The titanium grade must be stated together with the product form and governing requirements. ASME B16.52 covers titanium and titanium-alloy forged fittings with threaded and socket-welding ends within its scope. ASME B1.20.1 may define NPT-family thread dimensions and gaging when invoked. Special geometry or another thread system requires a complete order definition.
Ordering Checklist
- Exact fitting type and configuration
- Titanium grade and source-material requirements
- NPS or OD at every end or branch
- Thread system, designation, gender and gaging
- Pressure, temperature and process medium
- Sealant, lubricant and anti-galling procedure
- Quantity, MTC, traceability and inspection
