Heat exchangers operate under continuous exposure to fluids, temperature variation, and pressure, requiring materials that can maintain consistent performance.

Titanium is commonly used in seawater and chemical environments due to its corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is specified for structural and corrosion-resistant applications, while nickel alloys are used in systems where higher temperature resistance is required.

Each material supports a different type of heat exchanger application depending on operating conditions.

Continental Steel & Tube Company supplies materials used in heat exchanger systems in multiple grades and product forms to support customer-specified requirements.
