Product Overview — Titanium heat exchanger plates are pressed from titanium sheet stock into corrugated, chevron or herringbone patterns. The pattern creates controlled turbulence within the plate-and-frame heat exchanger channels, increasing heat transfer efficiency compared with flat sheet flow. Plate-and-frame exchangers are widely used where high heat transfer per unit volume, corrosion resistance and a compact footprint are all important.

Heat Exchanger Plate vs Tube Sheet — the difference: Titanium heat exchanger plates are pressed / corrugated sheet metal for plate-and-frame heat exchangers. They are not the same as titanium tube sheets — those are precision-drilled flat plates for shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The two product forms serve fundamentally different heat exchanger architectures and are not interchangeable.

Long-form note for procurement: In plate-and-frame heat exchanger procurement, the plate thickness, pattern, chevron angle and material grade are agreed between the heat exchanger manufacturer and the plate supplier before the plate pressing can begin. Standard patterns exist for common heat exchanger models — if your project follows a known heat exchanger brand and model, stating that in the inquiry helps confirm whether we can press to an existing pattern or need a custom-die arrangement.

Grades & Materials

G

Supported Grades

Grade 1, 2, 4, 5 and other titanium grades matched to the service environment. Grade feasibility per plate size and pattern is evaluated per inquiry.

SR

Starting Stock

Titanium heat exchanger plates start as thin titanium sheet — see Titanium Plate & Sheet. Sheet thickness is typically 0.5 – 2.0 mm for standard-duty plates.

Standards & Technical Requirements

Titanium heat exchanger plates are pressed from titanium sheet stock that falls within the ASTM B265 / B265M scope for flat rolled titanium. Additional heat exchanger-specific codes or specifications may apply (pressure class, operating temperature, customer heat exchanger model) — these are agreed per order.

The pressing operation itself is not governed by ASTM B265; the relevant standard for pressed heat exchanger plates follows the heat exchanger design and pressure vessel code (TEMA, ASME, customer standard). Please state your heat exchanger specification requirements in the inquiry.

Dimensions & Supply

Standard / Industry Reference Range

Thickness 0.5 – 2.0 mm typical · Length / Width per exchanger model
Plate size is driven by the heat exchanger model. This is not Feinuotai's stock range.

Custom Supply Range

Pattern, thickness and plate size evaluated per drawing
Feinuotai can press to custom plate patterns. Please specify pattern, chevron angle, thickness and plate dimensions in the inquiry.

Regular Stock Range

None — heat exchanger plates are made to order
Every heat exchanger plate is produced to a specific pattern and plate size. Plate stock may be available, but the pressed plate itself is made to order.

Inquiry checklist:

  • Plate length × width (or plate model reference)
  • Plate thickness
  • Pattern type (chevron angle, corrugation geometry)
  • Required grade
  • Heat exchanger brand / model reference, if known
  • Quantity of plates required

Applications

C

Chemical Process

Plate-and-frame heat exchangers for corrosive streams where titanium's resistance to process environments matters.

D

Desalination

Titanium heat exchanger plates in RO and MED desalination systems.

H

Hydraulic & Power

High-temperature, high-pressure plate heat exchange in power and hydraulic systems.

Quality Documentation & Inspection

Mill test certificates for the starting sheet stock, plate dimensional verification reports and pattern continuity documentation are supplied per order. Please note your documentation requirements together with plate dimensions and grade.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick is a typical heat exchanger plate?

Most titanium heat exchanger plates are pressed from sheet in the 0.5 – 2.0 mm thickness range. Exact thickness depends on the heat exchanger design, operating pressure and the required heat transfer performance.

Heat exchanger plate vs tube sheet — which do I need?

Choose heat exchanger plates if your heat exchanger is plate-and-frame architecture (pressed / corrugated sheets stacked in a frame). Choose tube sheets if your heat exchanger is shell-and-tube architecture (drilled flat plates sealing tubes in a shell). These are different product forms for different heat exchanger types.

Can you press custom plate patterns?

Yes — custom pressing and corrugation are arranged per drawing or heat exchanger specification. If your heat exchanger uses a known brand / model pattern, stating that in the inquiry helps confirm whether we can press to a standard die or need a custom arrangement.
