Direct factory-sourced titanium seamless and welded piping components optimized for immediate industrial integration.
Libya, boasting the largest proven crude oil reserves in Africa, is actively driving the rehabilitation and expansion of its petrochemical pipelines, marine harbors, and municipal desalination assets. Key hubs like the Sirte Basin, the Murzuq Basin, and coastal refineries at Zawiya, Ras Lanuf, and Brega require highly resilient metallurgic solutions. Industrial infrastructure in North Africa faces extreme operational parameters: high-salinity seawater intake, high-temperature processing streams, and sour hydrocarbons characterized by elevated levels of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Historically, super-duplex stainless steels and copper-nickel alloys were deployed in these applications. However, localized pitting, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), and erosion-corrosion mechanisms under Sahara-dune dust ingress have caused costly premature pipeline failures. Today, project engineers working with the National Oil Corporation (NOC) and local utility boards increasingly specify ASTM B338 seamless titanium tubes and ASTM B862 welded titanium pipes. The high thermodynamic stability of the natural oxide film (TiO₂) on titanium prevents oxidation even in hot chlorinated seawater, reducing maintenance expenditures and ensuring decades of operational safety.
For large-scale public and private procurement in Tripoli, Benghazi, and Misrata, materials must conform to global benchmarks. ProX Metal delivers full traceability and physical-chemical test documentation. All titanium tubes comply with standard industry designations:
Our Quality Assurance process includes 100% Eddy Current and Ultrasonic testing, hydrostatic pressure tests, and structural validation verified by third-party inspection firms including SGS, TÜV Rheinland, and Bureau Veritas, facilitating seamless customs clearance at Libyan maritime ports.

Delivering tailored titanium engineering solutions across primary industrial environments.
In the chemical industry, it is widely used against highly corrosive media such as chlor-alkali and sulphuric acid. It ensures the efficient and safe operation of chemical production, prevents material leakage and guarantees product quality.
Supplies provide the high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials titanium for exploration, production and refining oil. Specially designed for offshore extraction wells across the Sirte basin.
Corrosion resistance in sea water and brackish applications make titanium the material of choice in marine applications. Excellent structural longevity for Libyan coastal ports.
Titanium can improve the efficiency and extend the life of desalination equipment due to its corrosion resistance, high strength, light weight and good thermal conductivity.
Speak to our technical engineering division today. We offer custom wall thicknesses, specialized grades, and comprehensive third-party inspection packages (SGS, TUV, BV) to ensure rapid clearance at Tripoli & Benghazi ports.

"They provided a prompt update on arranging the shipment. We are very grateful that they were able to solve the problem quickly after sales, and we are confident that we will continue our collaboration for a long time."
"We've been working with this supplier for 10 years, and we can't speak highly enough of them. The quality of their titanium sheets and strips is always consistent, and they always meet our production needs."
"Their logistics are super fast, so they can deliver on time even for big orders. This helps us avoid production delays, which is a huge help for our pipelines under assembly in Libya."
"Their comprehensive inventory meets our diverse material grade requirements, making them highly accommodating for distributors like us. They provide an efficient and patient service for sample orders, and we look forward to expanding our collaboration with them in the future."
Detailed technical answers to common queries regarding titanium tube specification and import logistics for Libya.
Grade 2 Titanium provides virtually complete immunity to pitting and crevice corrosion in seawater at temperatures up to 250°C. While Super Duplex stainless steel offers high strength, it is susceptible to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking in high-temperature brine. Titanium's self-healing oxide film guarantees an operational lifespan exceeding 30 years with close to zero maintenance, lowering life-cycle costs in coastal desalination operations.
We provide complete Mill Test Certificates (MTC) conforming to EN 10204 3.1, detailing chemical composition, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and flattening/flaring test results. We also coordinate third-party visual, dimensional, and ultrasonic inspections via agencies like SGS or Bureau Veritas to comply with petroleum consortium import standards.
Yes. Our production facilities are equipped to adjust wall thickness, diameter, and length parameters outside standard ASTM specifications. We routinely manufacture thin-walled condenser tubes, heavy-walled structural pipes, and titanium capillary configurations for industrial cooling, processing, and heat extraction units.
We offer flexible shipping arrangements under FOB, CIF, or CFR terms. Standard stock specifications can be shipped within 7-10 days. Customized processing orders typically take 30 to 45 days. Transit times from Chinese main ports (Tianjin/Shanghai) to major Libyan ports range between 30 and 40 days, depending on shipping lines and route availability.
Every single batch of our titanium tubes starts from high-grade sponge titanium. We control the melting process in-house using vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnaces. This maintains complete chemical and physical batch traceability from the ingot stage down to the finished pipe or tube, preventing contamination and ensuring uniform mechanical properties.
