High-Pressure Titanium TA10 Globe Valve for Severe Corrosion and Critical Process Applications

The Titanium TA10 Globe Valve, Class 900LB, 2 Inch (DN50), RF Flange End is a high-performance forged globe valve engineered for high-pressure, high-corrosion, and critical shut-off and throttling applications. Manufactured from TA10 Titanium Alloy (Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni, equivalent to ASTM B381 Grade F12 / ASTM Grade 12 Titanium), this valve combines the excellent corrosion resistance of titanium with enhanced mechanical strength, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments.

Designed and manufactured in accordance with API 602, ASME B16.34, ASME B16.5, and API 598, the valve provides reliable sealing performance, accurate flow regulation, and outstanding durability in seawater, chloride-containing media, acidic solutions, and offshore process systems.

As a professional Titanium Valve Manufacturer, STV Valves supplies customized TA10 globe valves for the oil & gas, petrochemical, marine, desalination, chemical, pharmaceutical, and power generation industries.


Why Choose a TA10 Titanium Globe Valve?

TA10 is a titanium alloy strengthened with 0.3% Molybdenum (Mo) and 0.8% Nickel (Ni). Compared with commercially pure titanium (TA2), TA10 offers improved strength and enhanced corrosion resistance in reducing acids while maintaining excellent resistance to seawater and chloride environments.

For high-pressure Class 900 piping systems, TA10 provides exceptional reliability and a significantly longer service life than carbon steel or conventional stainless steel valves.

Key Benefits

  • Excellent resistance to seawater and marine corrosion
  • Outstanding resistance to chlorides, pitting, and crevice corrosion
  • Improved strength compared with TA2 titanium
  • Reliable throttling and shut-off performance
  • High-pressure Class 900 design
  • Lightweight construction with high strength-to-weight ratio
  • Long service life with reduced maintenance
