This T&R Bulletin contains guidelines for using titanium seawater piping in shipboard marine structures. If the decision for the use of titanium for seawater piping systems has been made for weight and space savings, reduction in maintenance and long economical life, this guide presents experience and lessons learned during the design, fabrication, installation, and testing of six large ships with hybrid titanium seawater piping systems.
This T&R Bulletin is designed to illustrate some of the hurdles that will be encountered during the design, manufacturing, installation, and testing and to provide options and solutions. Recommendations for future Research & Development are also included.
