1、 Daily cleaning and basic maintenance
1. Regular cleaning
At least monthly, use a neutral cleaning agent combined with a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the surface of titanium fittings, to avoid damaging the material with cleaning agents with strong acidity or alkalinity.
Dust and corrosive gases in the environment need to be cleaned up in a timely manner to prevent affecting the reliability of components such as seals and level gauges.
2. Avoid physical damage
Do not use tools with excessive hardness to clean the inner walls or interfaces of pipe fittings to prevent scratching sensitive parts.
Avoid contact with sharp objects during installation and handling to reduce the risk of surface scratches.
2、 Storage and anti-corrosion measures
1. Storage environment requirements
Choose a dry and ventilated area, away from corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts. Large pipe fittings can be stored outdoors but must be covered with dust.
Small or precision titanium fittings should be stored separately in sealed bags or jewelry boxes to reduce oxidation and wear.
2. Chemical corrosion protection
Avoid prolonged exposure of titanium fittings to chloride ions to prevent corrosion reactions.
Regularly check the condition of seals and joints, and replace them promptly if aging or damage is found.
3、 Installation and usage specifications
1. Installation precautions
Ensure that the pipe fittings are installed in a flat and stable position, using standard welding or flange connection methods to avoid leakage caused by vibration.
Calibrate the pipeline levelness and adjust the anchor bolts to reduce vibration and wear during operation.
2. Operation monitoring and debugging
During the no-load trial operation, check whether the valves, pumps, and other components are normal. During the load trial operation, it is necessary to control the temperature, pressure, and other parameters of the medium within a safe range.
4、 Professional maintenance and repair
1. Deep cleaning process
For stubborn stains or internal impurities, acetone cleaning or professional sandblasting can be used to restore the surface of the metal substrate.
2. Coating repair and sealing
Fill the concave pits on the inner wall of the tube plate with polymer repair materials, and evenly apply a protective layer to enhance sealing and corrosion resistance.
5、 Special case handling
1. High temperature environment: Although titanium is resistant to high temperatures, long-term high temperatures may lead to performance degradation, and it is necessary to regularly inspect the condition of pipe fittings in high-temperature areas.
2. Electroplating maintenance: If titanium fittings contain electroplating, friction and chemical contact should be avoided, and if necessary, they should be polished and maintained by a professional organization.
By using the above methods, the service life of titanium fittings can be effectively extended and their performance stability can be guaranteed.
