Copper Nickel 90/10 Pipes and Tubes, also referred as Cupro Nickel 90/10 Pipe and Tube, are high performance and high performance copper-nickel alloys products with 90 and 10 alloys of copper and nickel respectively. The alloy is known as UNS C70600 on an international basis and is produced in compliance with ASTM B466 / ASME SB466.

Copper Nickel 90-10 Pipes & Tubes

Copper Nickel 90/10 Pipe and Copper Nickel 90/10 Tube have been widely used in marine, offshore, desalination systems and heat exchanger systems owing to the superior ability to resist seawater corrosion, biofouling as well as stress corrosion cracking. Nickel addition has had a big contribution to the durability without compromising on the thermal conductivity and therefore, Cu-Ni 90-10 Pipe and Tube is best suited in situations where the continuous transfer of heat is required.

Cupro Nickel 90/10 Pipe and Tube is more workable, easy to fabricate and has a long service life in saline aggressive conditions than higher-nickel grades. The following properties ensure Copper Nickel 90/10 Pipes and Tubes are still used in condensers, ship constructions, oil and gas cooling lines, and power generation systems.

Our Copper Nickel Pipes and Tubes are supplied with complete traceability, mill test certificates and third party inspection at request.

Application Of Cu-Ni 90-10 Pipe & Tube

At USA Piping Solution, we prioritize excellence by utilizing premium-grade raw materials and rigorous manufacturing standards. Our Copper Nickel 90/10 pipes and tubes are engineered for durability, specifically designed to withstand corrosive marine environments and high-pressure industrial cycles.

  • Oil & Gas: Ideal for offshore platforms, seawater piping, and cooling systems.
  • Power Generation: Widely used in steam condensers and heat exchanger equipment.
  • Petrochemical Plants: Resistant to stress corrosion cracking in aggressive chemical environments.
  • Food & Beverage Processing: Utilized for its antimicrobial properties and heat transfer efficiency.
  • Marine & Shipbuilding: The industry standard for hull piping and desalination units.
  • Sugar Industries: High performance in evaporation and juice heating systems.

Quality Testing Of Cu-Ni 90-10 Tube

To ensure every length of pipe meets global safety and performance standards, our 90/10 Cupro Nickel range undergoes a comprehensive battery of mechanical and chemical evaluations:

  • Positive Material Identification (PMI): Verifying the exact 90/10 chemical composition to ensure alloy integrity.
  • Eddy Current Testing: A non-destructive method used to detect surface and sub-surface flaws or cracks.
  • Hydrostatic Testing: Confirming the structural integrity and leak-proof nature of the pipes under high pressure.
  • Pitting Resistance Test: Evaluating the material's performance against localized corrosion in chloride-rich environments.
  • Destructive & Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Including tensile, flattening, and flare tests to guarantee mechanical strength and ductility.
