UK titanium caster secures

North Sea oil and gas

industry approval

Castings Technology International (Cti)

has successfully completed the latest

stringent approvals process required

to supply titanium castings for use by

the Norwegian offshore oil and gas

industry.

Approval means the UK-based specialist

supplier of difficult-to-source and low-

volume precision steel, superalloy and

titanium castings to the high-value

manufacturing sector can supply

conventional and centrispun castings

of any weight for use on rigs and under

the sea.

Cti claims to be one of a limited number

of companies in Europe with the capa-

bility and skills to cast highly reactive

metals like titanium, which is used in

the North Sea for its high strength-to-

weight ratio and corrosion resistance.

The company supplies customers in

the oil and gas industry with titanium

castings, including flanges and valve

bodies, made using either traditional

gravity-fed or centrispun technology,

depending on the weight and complexity

of the product. Its new approval, to the

latest MDS T02 Rev 5 requirements for

commercially pure titanium within the

Norwegian petroleum industry’s M-650

Rev 4 standard, supersedes its previous

NORSOK Rev 3 approval.

Cti can currently manufacture titanium

castings with a cast weight of up to

40.4kg, but is set to increase its capacity

to 500kg.
