Classified by Nature of Transport Medium
Pipes can be classified by the nature of the transport medium into: Water supply and drainage pipes, compressed air pipes, steam pipes, hydrogen pipes, oxygen pipes, acetylene pipes, gas pipes, fuel oil pipes, highly toxic fluid pipes, toxic fluid pipes, acid-alkali pipes, refrigerant pipes, purified gas pipes, demineralized water pipes, etc.
In summary
For all the aforementioned pipes-whether pressure pipes, high-temperature pipes, or corrosion-resistant pipes-there is one material that can meet the requirements: titanium and titanium alloy pipes. These pipes exhibit exceptional corrosion resistance, making them ideal for environments requiring long-term resistance to corrosive fluids, such as water supply and drainage pipes, acid-alkali pipes, and demineralized water pipes. For high-pressure pipes like compressed air pipes, steam pipes, and gas pipes that demand sufficient pressure-bearing capacity, titanium pipes stand out with their high structural strength and the ability to maintain strength at temperatures exceeding 400°C, fully meeting the relevant requirements.
