Titanium Grade 5 Pipes Price
Indicative prices for Titanium Grade 5 pipes range from ₹15,000 to ₹40,000 per kg in India and $80 to $200 per kg in the US, depending on specifications and order volume. Pipe prices depend on outside diameter, wall thickness, length, quantity and surface finish. Seamless pipes per ASTM B861 cost more than welded pipes per ASTM B862 due to the difference in manufacturing complexity. Ti-6Al-4V costs more than pure titanium because it includes aluminium and vanadium.
Chemical Composition of Titanium Grade 5 Pipes
The table below lists the full elemental breakdown of Titanium Grade 5 pipes. Aluminium stabilises the alpha phase and raises the alloy's strength. Vanadium stabilises the beta phase, improving ductility and allowing heat treatment response.
Mechanical Properties of Titanium Grade 5 Pipes
Per ASTM B861 / ASME SB-861, titanium grade 5 pipes require the following minimum mechanical values.
Grade 5 delivers nearly three times the tensile strength of commercially pure Grade 2 titanium.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (min) | 130 ksi (895 MPa) |
| Yield Strength, 0.2% Offset (min) | 120 ksi (828 MPa) |
| Elongation (min) | 10% |
| Density | 4.43 g/cm³ |

Industrial Applications of Titanium Grade 5 Pipes
Ti-6Al-4V pipes serve industries that demand high strength, low weight, and reliable corrosion performance. The 4 primary application sectors for grade 5 Titanium piping.
Aerospace and Defence
6Al-4V titanium pipes carry hydraulic fluid, bleed air and fuel in airframe and engine systems where every kilogram of weight saving translates to measurable fuel efficiency gains.
Chemical Processing
Grade 5 titanium pipe resists chloride-bearing process streams and oxidising media in reactors, heat exchangers and transfer piping.
Marine and Offshore
Ti-6Al-4V pipes handle seawater cooling, ballast systems and subsea flowlines where chloride-induced pitting would weaken conventional stainless steel.
Medical and Biomedical
The alloy is biocompatible. Grade 5 titanium piping is used in surgical instrument assemblies, implant delivery systems and fluid handling lines within medical device manufacturing.
Titanium Grade 5 vs Grade 2 Pipes
The comparison below summarises the key differences between Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) and Titanium Grade 2 pipe. Titanium Grade 2 pipes are better suited to general chemical service at lower budgets, where tensile performance is not the primary concern.
| Property | Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) | Grade 2 (CP) |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (min) | 130 ksi (895 MPa) | 50 ksi (345 MPa) |
| Yield Strength (min) | 120 ksi (828 MPa) | 40 ksi (275 MPa) |
| Density | 4.43 g/cm3 | 4.51 g/cm3 |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
| Primary Use | Aerospace, defence, high-stress | General corrosion resistance |
Titanium Grade 5 vs Grade 23 (ELI) Pipes
The table below shows where Grade 23 and Grade 5 diverge. Grade 23, also known as Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitials), is a modified version of Grade 5 titanium alloy, with lower levels of oxygen, nitrogen and iron. The lower interstitial levels improve fracture toughness and fatigue life at the cost of slightly reduced tensile strength.
| Property | Grade 5 | Grade 23 (ELI) |
|---|---|---|
| Oxygen (max) | 0.20% | 0.13% |
| Iron (max) | 0.40% | 0.25% |
| Nitrogen (max) | 0.05% | 0.03% |
| Fracture Toughness | Standard | Higher |
| Primary Use | Aerospace, chemical, marine | Medical implants, cryogenic aerospace |
