VALTIMET manufactures saltwater corrosion resistant tubing in titanium, copper-nickel and austenitic stainless steel. Our specialty welded tubular products satisfy many application requirements for the water purification and desalination industries. Evaporative processes such as multi-stage flash and multi-effect distillation demand tubing that resists saltwater corrosion at elevated temperatures. VALTIMET's welded titanium tubes easily meet these criteria. Titanium is impervious to chloride ion attack and permits the inevitable salt buildup in the tubing to be flushed with the sea water. These tubes offer maintenance-free, long life with the advantage of low initial structural cost due to titanium's light weight. For low temperature, low pressure environments, VALTIMET's welded copper-nickel or austenitic stainless steel tubes are a cost-effective alternative.

VALTIMET produces titanium tubing for corrosive, high-temperature environments. Titanium's resistance to moist chlorine gas and chloride-containing solutions is the basis for a myriad of applications. Titanium is often the best choice in these environments on a lifecycle cost basis because its inherent corrosion resistance prolongs equipment life, reducing maintenance and enhancing plant performance. VALTIMET tubing is widely used in chlor-alkali cells, terephthalic acid production, bleaching equipment, heat exchangers, piping for organic intermediates, salt evaporators, refrigeration and air conditioning. We produce titanium tubing in a wide variety of diameters, wall thicknesses and grades including Ti-Pd, which offers enhanced corrosion resistance to organic acids over traditional, unalloyed grade 2 titanium. VALTIMET also manufactures duplex stainless steel and special chemical grades for industrial processing applications.

Valtimet offers a complete source of stainless steel tubing solutions for hydroforming, bending and other cold transformations.

Valtimet has benefited from its vast knowledge and control of the TIG and laser welding processes and its long experience in power generation industry to develop new stainless steel welded tubes solutions.

Following clients' requirements, we have developed a new market with efficient, compact and modular stainless steel condensing heat exchangers (domestic gas boilers, sanitary water heating systems, heating elements, etc.).

A unique expertise in thin wall tubing

Valtimet has developed specialty thin-walled stainless steel welded tubing for specific automotive applications requiring high quality products with mechanical characteristics maintained with high temperatures, a high resistance to corrosion, very high deformation capabilitites, etc.

Using thin-wall tubing enables you to obtain the same technical performance while saving weight and money.

Main applications : EGR system tubes, Turbo Inlet / Outlet Tube, Turbo Oil Tube, Fuel filler tube, water cooling system tubes, etc.

VALTIMET also supplies titanium welded tubing for sporting goods and medical equipment applications requiring low weight tubing : automotive exhaust line, bicycle frame, youth crutch, wheelchair, etc.
