Titanium Pipe Fittings: specifications, grades and supply options
Use the information below to prepare a clear RFQ. Final availability depends on grade, size, quantity, specification revision and required documentation.
ASTM B363 / ASME SB363 for titanium and titanium-alloy fittings; dimensions may reference ASME B16.9, ASME B16.11 or the approved drawing.
Commercially pure and alloy fitting grades are selected to match the piping material, welding procedure, corrosion environment and governing specification.
Elbows, tees, concentric or eccentric reducers, caps, stub ends and drawing-specific titanium pipe fittings are specified by outside diameter or NPS, wall thickness or schedule, end preparation, center-to-end dimensions and tolerance. State whether the fitting is seamless, welded, formed, forged or fabricated when the route is design-controlled.
MTC, heat/lot traceability, dimensional and visual inspection; PMI, liquid-penetrant, radiographic or other NDT when required by the order.
Typical applications
- Chemical processing and chlor-alkali piping
- Seawater, offshore and desalination systems
- Heat-exchanger and condenser connections
- Pharmaceutical, power and high-purity process systems

Frequently asked sourcing questions
Which standard and grade should I specify?
ASTM B363 / ASME SB363 for titanium and titanium-alloy fittings; dimensions may reference ASME B16.9, ASME B16.11 or the approved drawing. The final grade, revision and supplementary requirements should be stated on the RFQ or purchase order.
Can size and tolerance be customized?
Elbows, tees, concentric or eccentric reducers, caps, stub ends and drawing-specific titanium pipe fittings are specified by outside diameter or NPS, wall thickness or schedule, end preparation, center-to-end dimensions and tolerance. State whether the fitting is seamless, welded, formed, forged or fabricated when the route is design-controlled. Final dimensional tolerances are confirmed against the governing standard or customer drawing.
What inspection and documentation are available?
MTC, heat/lot traceability, dimensional and visual inspection; PMI, liquid-penetrant, radiographic or other NDT when required by the order.. Supply condition: Production route, surface finish, packaging and delivery documents are confirmed at quotation.
