Key Properties

Titanium is excellent at resisting corrosion, even better than steel. This is because titanium combines with oxygen to form a protective layer of titanium oxide, which doesn’t flake off like rust on steel.
Titanium valves are strong yet lightweight. The low weight comes from titanium’s low density of 4540 kg/m³, compared to steel’s density of 7750 kg/m³.

How Does a Titanium Valve Work?

Titanium valves are used in many industrial and domestic applications, but they all work in a similar way. The main part of the valve is the closure component, which controls the flow of fluid. When the closure component is in the open position, fluid can pass through the valve; when it’s closed, the fluid flow stops.
 
  • Manual Valves: The closure component is operated by turning a handwheel or hand lever.
  • Automatic and Semi-Automatic Valves: An actuator controls the closure component, opening or closing the valve as needed to manage the flow.
No matter the type, the basic function of a titanium valve remains the same—regulating fluid flow by opening or closing the passage as required.

Titanium Ball Valve

A titanium ball valve uses a ball-shaped component to control the flow of fluid. The ball has a hole through its center, allowing fluid to pass when the valve is open. The position of the ball is controlled by turning a handwheel or using an actuator.
 
This type of valve is also called a quarter-turn valve because it opens or closes by turning the handwheel 90 degrees. When the handwheel is turned, the ball rotates, aligning the hole with the connected pipe, allowing fluid to flow through. Titanium ball valves are known for their reliability and long service life. They can also be automated with pneumatic or electric actuators for use in automated or semi-automated piping systems. However, these valves are not recommended for throttling.

Advantages of Titanium Ball Valves
  • Simple and Compact Design: Easy to repair, maintain, and clean.
  • Versatile in Size: Suitable for different flow rates in various applications.
  • Easy Installation and Maintenance: Simple to install, assemble, and disassemble.
  • High Flow Rate and Low Pressure Drop: Reduces pump head losses along the piping system.
  • Quick Operation: Requires only a quarter turn to start or stop fluid flow.
  • Perfect Sealing: Provides a tight seal in the closed state with no leakage.
Disadvantages of Titanium Ball Valves
  • Quick Operation: Can lead to over-pressure and water hammer.
  • Wear and Tear: The ball component may wear out faster due to the stopping of fluid flow.
Titanium Check Valve
A titanium check valve is designed to prevent fluid from flowing backward in a piping system. Unlike other valves, it does not have an actuator or manual handwheel and operates automatically without needing a valve operator.
 
This type of valve is also known as a non-return, foot, or one-way valve. It allows fluid to flow in only one direction, from the suction side to the discharge side, and immediately stops any attempt by the fluid to flow backward. The valve uses a disc or ball component to prevent reverse fluid flow.
Titanium Valves 27
Titanium Valves 28
The titanium check valve operates based on pressure differences. When the fluid pressure from the suction side is high, such as when a pump is delivering fluid, the pressure forces the valve disc or ball to lift, opening the valve and allowing fluid to flow through. The fluid continues to flow until the suction pressure decreases, such as when the pump is turned off.
 
When this happens, the suction pressure drops to zero, and the fluid may attempt to flow backward. However, the check valve, designed to be highly sensitive to pressure changes, immediately closes, preventing any backflow. This makes the titanium check valve ideal for applications like food and beverages, water supply, boiler systems, and pharmaceuticals.
Advantages of Titanium Check Valves
  • Automatic Operation: No need for manual control or an actuator.
  • Cost-Effective: Less expensive compared to valves requiring actuators or handwheels.
  • Versatile in Size: Suitable for different flow rates.
  • Low Pressure Drop: Minimizes head losses in the system.
  • Quick Response: Rapidly stops backflow to prevent contamination in the piping system.
Disadvantages of Titanium Check Valves
  • Single Flow Direction: Only allows fluid to flow in one direction.
  • Prone to Water Hammer: Sudden closure can cause pressure surges.
  • Not Ideal for Pulsating Flow: May not perform well in systems with fluctuating pressure.
Titanium Gate Valve
A titanium gate valve uses a rectangular or wedge-shaped component, known as a disc or gate, to control the flow of fluid through the valve. This type of valve is ideal for large-diameter pipes, typically starting from 2 inches. It can be operated manually with a handwheel or automatically with a pneumatic or electric actuator.
 
However, it is not recommended for throttling because high pressure can cause erosion or damage to the gate, significantly reducing the valve’s service life.
Titanium Valves 29
Titanium Valves 30
Titanium gate valves consist of three main components: the body, bonnet, and trim. The trim includes the disc, seats, and stem. The body connects the valve to the pipe, while the bonnet houses the moving parts of the valve. To operate the valve, the handwheel is rotated several times. This rotation is converted by the stem into an upward or downward linear motion, which moves the disc to open or close the flow of fluid.
Advantages of Titanium Gate Valves
  • Bi-Directional Flow: Suitable for fluid flow in both directions.
  • Low Pressure Drop: Enhances flow efficiency by minimizing resistance.
  • Handles High Pressure and Flow Rates: Capable of managing significant pressure and fluid volumes.
  • Excellent Shut-Off: Provides a tight seal with no fluid leakage.
Disadvantages of Titanium Gate Valves
  • Not Suitable for Throttling: High pressure can damage the valve gate.
  • Slow Operation: Requires multiple turns to fully open or close the valve.
Titanium Globe Valve
A titanium globe valve is designed with a spherical body and operates similarly to a gate valve but is easier to use, requiring fewer turns to open or close. The valve uses a disc to control fluid flow, and it is specifically designed for both shut-off and throttling applications.
 
However, due to its design, the valve causes two changes in the direction of fluid flow, leading to higher flow resistance and a significant pressure drop compared to other titanium valves.
Titanium Valves 31
Titanium Valves 32
The titanium globe valve operates by moving a disc up and down to start, stop, or regulate fluid flow. When the handwheel is rotated clockwise, the disc moves up, opening the valve and allowing fluid to flow through. Turning the handwheel counterclockwise causes the disc to move downward, closing the valve and stopping the fluid flow.
Advantages of Titanium Globe Valves
  • Throttling Capability: Effective for regulating fluid flow.
  • Reliable Shut-Off: Provides a tight seal, preventing fluid leakage.
  • Quick Operation: Easier and faster to operate compared to gate valves.
  • Versatile Patterns: Available in different designs to suit various applications.
Disadvantages of Titanium Globe Valves
  • High Pressure Drop: Causes significant resistance to fluid flow.
  • Heavy: Heavier than other valve types.
  • Requires High Torque: Needs more force to operate.
Titanium Valves 33

Titanium Butterfly Valve

A titanium butterfly valve uses a quarter-turn motion to open, regulate, or close fluid flow. It consists of a disc positioned in the flow path, which controls the movement of fluid. The disc is powered by a handwheel or an actuator, either pneumatic or electric, via a valve stem.
 
The titanium butterfly valve operates similarly to a ball valve but is often preferred for its ease of use and lighter weight. Instead of a ball, this valve uses a disc as the closing component. When the handwheel is turned 90 degrees clockwise, the disc rotates to align with the direction of fluid flow, allowing fluid to pass through. 
 
Turning the handwheel in the opposite direction rotates the disc 90 degrees, making it perpendicular to the flow, which stops the fluid. If the handwheel is turned partially, the disc opens slightly, allowing a controlled amount of fluid to flow.

Titanium Valves 34
Advantages of Titanium Butterfly Valves
  • Easy and Quick Operation: Fluid flow can be opened or closed quickly with a simple quarter turn.
  • Versatile: Suitable for handling both clean fluids and fluids containing slurries.
  • Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive compared to other valve types.
Disadvantages of Titanium Butterfly Valves
  • Not Ideal for High-Pressure Throttling: May not perform well under high-pressure throttling conditions.
  • Prone to Cavitation: Can experience cavitation, which may cause damage over time.
