PLANT CAPACITY – 2 X 1000 MWe
STEAM TURBINE
ORBITAL WELDING
Purpose – To provide leak proof joint between Tube to tube sheet in Condenser in addition to Forced expansion
TITANIUM TUBES
Grade : ASTM B 338 Gr2
Corrosion Resistance due to stable, protective strongly adherent oxide film which forms instantly when a fresh surface is exposed to air moisture.
This film is transparent and not deducted by visual means.
Titanium resist corrosion by sea water to temperature as high as 260 0 C.
Even exposed to sea water for many years at a depth of over a mile shows no measurable corrosion
Provides over 25 years of trouble free sea water service for chemical refinery de-salination and nuclear industries
Has the ability to resist erosion by high velocity sea water
The presence of abrasive particles such as sand has only a small effect on the corrosion resistance of Titanium

Measurement of individual inclusions and clusters as per Table .19 of PNAEG-07-010-89 of 11.11 metallographic analysis:
L = 0.622 mm
No. of inclusions present – Nil
a =0.620 mm
h=1.02 mm
H=1.39 mm
W=3.48 mm
