ASME SA182 F316Ti baffle is a stainless steel heat exchanger component manufactured from titanium stabilized austenitic stainless steel. It is commonly used in shell and tube heat exchangers to support tube bundles, control shell-side fluid flow, and improve heat transfer efficiency.
Manufactured according to ASME SA182 requirements, F316Ti stainless steel baffles are produced with controlled material properties and dimensional specifications according to heat exchanger design requirements.
The F316Ti material grade contains titanium as a stabilizing element, making it suitable for applications requiring stainless steel components under elevated temperature service conditions.
Standard: ASME SA182
