Ti U-Tubes for Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers on Offshore Platform
The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is a key piece of equipment for natural gas cooling on offshore platforms. The tube side is usually made of ASTM B338 grade 2 titanium U tubes. Its unique U-tube design and efficient heat transfer capabilities make it ideal for the limited space and harsh environmental conditions encountered on offshore platforms. 1. Design and Structure U-tube …
Application of ASTM B338 Gr.2 Condenser Tubes in PTA production
What is PTA? Purified terephthalic acid (PTA) is an important organic compound with the chemical formula C₈H₆O₄. It is the refined product of terephthalic acid (a white crystalline solid) and typically exists in the form of colorless crystals or white powder. PTA is a significant industrial chemical, primarily used in the synthesis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is a polyester …
ASTM B338 Grade 2 Titanium Tubing
The ASTM B338 grade 2 titanium tubing refers to seamless and welded tubes made from grade 2 unalloyed titanium (commercially pure titanium). Standard specification ASTM B338 is identical with ASME SB-338. These grade 2 titanium tubes are primarily used for the fabrication of surface condensers, evaporators, and heat exchangers in seawater desalination, power plant, petrochemical and chemical industries. Titanium Gr.2: …
