Home > Copper Nickel > Copper Nickel 70/30 Pipes
Copper Nickel 70/30 pipes are top-notch alloy pipes crafted from a blend of 70% copper and 30% nickel. They shine when it comes to resisting corrosion, particularly in seawater and other harsh environments, while also boasting impressive thermal and electrical conductivity. These pipes are built to last, showing resilience against biofouling and erosion, making them perfect for critical applications in marine, offshore, and industrial piping systems.
Typically, the makeup of Copper Nickel 70/30 pipes consists of 70% copper and 30% nickel, with a dash of iron and manganese thrown in to boost strength and corrosion resistance. They offer solid tensile strength, ductility, and flexibility, enabling them to handle high pressures and temperatures without breaking down significantly.
