What Are Copper Nickel 70/30 Pipes?

Copper Nickel 70/30 Pipes are manufactured using an alloy consisting primarily of:

  • Copper (Cu): 70%
  • Nickel (Ni): 30%
  • Iron (Fe): 0.4–1.0%
  • Manganese (Mn): 0.5–1.0%

The addition of nickel significantly improves resistance to seawater corrosion and erosion, while iron and manganese enhance strength and resistance to flowing seawater.

Compared to Copper Nickel 90/10, the 70/30 alloy provides:

✓ Higher mechanical strength

✓ Better resistance to high-velocity seawater

✓ Improved erosion-corrosion resistance

✓ Superior performance in offshore applications

✓ Extended service life in marine systems

These advantages make marine grade cupro nickel pipes one of the most preferred materials in naval and industrial seawater systems.
