Overview

ASTM B861-24: Standard Specification for Titanium and Titanium Alloy Seamless Pipe is an internationally recognized standard published by ASTM International. This specification covers the requirements for 34 grades of seamless pipe manufactured from titanium and titanium alloys. Designed for use in applications requiring both general corrosion resistance and performance at elevated temperatures, ASTM B861-24 ensures material quality, dimensional consistency, and mechanical reliability. The standard details requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, testing, and product marking, supporting industries where material performance is critical.

Key Topics

  • Grades Covered: The standard includes 34 titanium and titanium alloy grades (e.g., Grades 1, 5, 7, 9, 23, 29, etc.). Each grade is specified by its unique combination of alloying elements to suit a range of performance needs.
  • Product Scope: Applies to seamless pipe intended for corrosion-resistant and high-temperature service. Material may be supplied in annealed, aged, cold-worked, stress-relieved, solution-treated, or transformed-beta conditions, depending on the grade.
  • Chemical Composition: Strict limits on elements such as nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, iron, oxygen, aluminum, vanadium, palladium, ruthenium, nickel, molybdenum, chromium, niobium, zirconium, silicon, and titanium. Residual elements are also controlled to ensure pipe integrity.
  • Mechanical Properties: Specifies minimum tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation at room temperature for each grade. Pipes must also pass tension, flattening, bend, and hydrostatic tests.
  • Dimensions and Tolerances: References standard pipe dimensions in line with ANSI/ASME B36.19M and B36.10. Details permissible variations in diameter, thickness, and length.
  • Testing and Inspection: Outlines routine testing requirements, including mechanical testing (tension and flattening), hydrostatic testing, and product analysis. Inspection must occur before shipment and test reports must accompany each order.
  • Product Marking and Traceability: Each pipe is marked with manufacturer ID, ASTM designation, grade, size, schedule, and lot number to ensure full traceability.

Applications

ASTM B861-24 titanium and titanium alloy seamless pipe offers significant practical value for demanding applications, including:

  • Chemical Processing: Provides excellent corrosion resistance for pipes handling aggressive chemicals.
  • Power Generation: Suitable for use in heat exchangers, condensers, and piping systems operating at elevated temperatures.
  • Oil and Gas: Delivers reliable performance in offshore and subsea pipelines where strength and corrosion resistance are essential.
  • Aerospace: Used for hydraulic lines and structural piping requiring low weight and high strength.
  • Marine and Desalination: Withstands saltwater environments and is used for long-lasting, maintenance-free piping solutions.

The ability to select from numerous grades allows specifiers to match the alloy properties with specific application requirements, supporting optimized material performance and cost efficiency.

A
At minimum, the analysis of samples from the top and bottom of the ingot shall be completed and reported for all elements listed for the respective grade in this table.
B
Final product hydrogen shall be reported. Ingot hydrogen need not be reported. Lower hydrogen may be obtained by negotiation with the manufacturer.
C
Single values are maximum. The percentage of titanium is determined by difference.
D
Other elements need not be reported unless the concentration level is greater than 0.1 % each, or 0.4 % total. Other elements may not be added intentionally. Other elements may be present in titanium or titanium
alloys in small quantities and are inherent to the manufacturing process. In titanium these elements typically include aluminum, vanadium, tin, chromium, molybdenum, niobium, zirconium, hafnium, bismuth, ruthenium,
palladium, yttrium, copper, silicon, cobalt, tantalum, nickel, boron, manganese, and tungsten.

NOTE 1—H grade material is identical to the corresponding numeric grade (that is, Grade 2H = Grade 2) except for the higher guaranteed minimum UTS,
and may always be certified as meeting the requirements of its corresponding numeric grade. Grades 2H, 7H, 16H, and 26H are intended primarily for
pressure vessel use.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

A
At minimum, the analysis of samples from the top and bottom of the ingot shall be completed and reported for all elements listed for the respective grade in this table.
B
Final product hydrogen shall be reported. Ingot hydrogen need not be reported. Lower hydrogen may be obtained by negotiation with the manufacturer.
C
Single values are maximum. The percentage of titanium is determined by difference.
D
Other elements need not be reported unless the concentration level is greater than 0.1 % each, or 0.4 % total. Other elements may not be added intentionally. Other elements may be present in titanium or titanium
alloys in small quantities and are inherent to the manufacturing process. In titanium these elements typically include aluminum, vanadium, tin, chromium, molybdenum, niobium, zirconium, hafnium, bismuth, ruthenium,
palladium, yttrium, copper, silicon, cobalt, tantalum, nickel, boron, manganese, and tungsten.
E
The purchaser may, in the written purchase order, request analysis for specific elements not listed in this specification.
