Product Detail
Product Introduction
Titanium forged nozzles form pressure-boundary branch connections for vessels and high-integrity process equipment. A forged neck or integral hub can provide controlled grain flow and machining stock around the bore, shell transition and weld end. The RFQ must define pressure design, titanium grade, bore, outside profile, wall, hub and transition radii, weld preparation, machining allowance, heat treatment, test coupon requirements and NDT.
Product Specifications
| Product | Titanium Forged Nozzles | Grade | Titanium Grade 2, 5, 7 or 12 by approved design |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ASTM B381 / ASME SB381 may apply to titanium forgings when expressly invoked. The finished nozzle remains drawing- and pressure-code-controlled, including design loads, reinforcement, weld details, machining, NDE and documentation. Aerospace or proprietary specifications apply only when explicitly ordered. | Size & Form | Hollow nozzle neck or integral hub; bore, wall, OD/profile, transition radii, weld end and machining envelope by approved drawing |
| Tolerance | As-forged, rough-machined or finish-machined tolerances according to the drawing and inspection plan | Supply Condition | Forged and order-specific heat treatment; as-forged, bored, turned, contour-machined or weld-ready condition |
| Inspection | Available controls include MTC, heat and lot traceability, chemistry and tensile results, OD/ID and wall mapping, profile and machining allowance, surface inspection, UT and PT to agreed procedures, macrostructure or microstructure where required, dimensional report and third-party witness. | Documents | MTC, heat/lot traceability and agreed inspection reports |

FAQ
How is a forged nozzle different from a pipe nipple?
A forged nozzle is a drawing-controlled pressure-boundary component with defined wall, transition, machining allowance, weld end and inspection; it is not ordinary pipe cut to length.
When should UT be specified?
UT is commonly considered for thick or critical forgings, but procedure, coverage, calibration and acceptance criteria must be stated in the order.
What dimensions are required for quotation?
Provide bore, outside contour, wall, overall length, hub or transition, weld preparation, machining allowance and all finished datums.
