Fully titanium vessels use titanium in all significant parts, covering the shell, head, and nozzle parts. Carbon steel can be used to make small parts, such as joint nut washer flanges. The minimum thickness of the shell for the tank is 2 mm to ensure that when it is placed, a correct seam is formed, weldable, and stiff enough to be made, transported, and lifted. Not only that, but it also makes a significant difference in the reduction of prices in general, meaning that this design saves titanium. These vessels can indeed be used in numerous sectors, such as chemicals, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, medicine, and the military. Their ability to resist corrosion and last long also makes them suitable for application in all of these areas.
Astec Tubes also offers hastelloy pressure vessels and jacketed vessels, providing tailored solutions for specialised applications. Our range of titanium pressure vessels includes various grades, such as Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 5, and Grade 7, with customisable capacities, designs, and finishes. Available in cylindrical, conical, or custom shapes, these vessels can withstand high pressures according to industry standards.
