Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – When PETRONAS' offshore engineering team needed corrosion-resistant titanium tubing for a high-pressure gas processing system, they partnered with LINHUI TITANIUM for ASTM B265 Grade 1 titanium alloy tubes that exceeded industry standards.

The Challenge: Surviving Harsh Marine Conditions

PETRONAS required ASTM B265 Grade 1 titanium alloy tubes that could withstand:
✔ Saltwater corrosion in South China Sea operations
✔ High-pressure cyclic loading (300+ bar working pressure)
✔ 15+ year service life with minimal maintenance

After failed tests with stainless steel alternatives, our commercially pure titanium tubes became the solution.

"The salt spray test results were decisive – your Grade 1 tubes showed zero pitting after 1,000 hours."
– Dr. Amin, PETRONAS Materials Engineer

Why ASTM B265 Grade 1?

Project Highlights

Custom sizes: 38mm OD × 2.5mm wall thickness

Special processing: Stress-relieved ends for flange connections

Certification: Full traceability with EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates

The Delivery That Made History

Our tubes were installed in:

• Gas scrubbers at the Kasawari gas field
• Heat exchanger manifolds
• Seawater intake systems

Next-gen collaboration: PETRONAS has now engaged us for ASTM B265 Grade 1 titanium alloy tubes with enhanced strength for deeper water applications.
