How to Specify Titanium Fluid Manifolds
A titanium manifold inquiry should start with the flow diagram and service conditions, then translate them into a controlled machined-part drawing. Port names alone cannot establish wall, sealing or pressure integrity.
Service and Flow Data
- Media, concentration, cleanliness and compatibility
- Design and test pressure and temperature
- Flow direction, required passage sizes and drainability
- Allowable dead volume, pressure drop and contamination
Port and Passage Definition
State every port standard and revision, size, class, orientation, sealing face and engagement. Control intersecting passages, drill-point penetration, plug type, wall between bores, burr removal and inspection access.
Testing and Cleaning
Choose hydrostatic, pneumatic or helium testing from the service and safe test procedure. Define cleaning chemistry, particle or residue limits, drying, caps and packaging.
Send the Flow and Port Drawing
Review Titanium Manifolds and include service, pressure, ports, passages, testing and cleanliness in the RFQ.
FAQ
Why are intersecting passage burrs a risk?
Residual burrs or chips can obstruct flow, contaminate instruments or damage seals; deburring and verification must be planned.
Is pressure testing always sufficient?
No. Some applications need a quantified leak test or helium testing in addition to proof pressure.
