In fluid equipment systems, the back plate is critical for providing support, sealing integrity, structural strength, and load-bearing capacity. Selecting titanium as the material for back plates significantly enhances system performance, offering superior corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and mechanical durability.
Corrosion Resistance
Titanium demonstrates excellent stability in seawater, chloride-containing environments, organic acids, and various chemical media, ensuring a long service life under aggressive conditions.
High-Temperature Performance
Titanium alloys maintain mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, making them well-suited for applications involving hot fluids, thermal cycles, or energy storage systems.
High Specific Strength
With a high strength-to-weight ratio, titanium back plates reduce overall system weight without compromising mechanical performance, contributing to improved efficiency and operational stability.
Dimensional Stability Under Load
Titanium structures retain their shape and mechanical integrity even under high loads, vibration, and pressure, minimizing deformation and extending service intervals.
Centrifugal Pumps
In centrifugal pump systems, titanium back plates support mechanical seals and optimize sealing performance, especially when handling corrosive or high-temperature fluids.
Plate Heat Exchangers
Titanium back plates in heat exchangers provide clamping strength and maintain channel alignment, ensuring consistent thermal performance and mechanical reliability.
High-Temperature Energy Storage and Chemical Processing
In molten salt storage systems and specialized heat exchangers, titanium’s resistance to corrosion and thermal degradation provides enhanced operational safety and longevity.
