CuNi also known as coper nickel is a versatile alloy that contains copper and nickel as strengthening contents with the addition of manganese and iron. This material is available in different grades such as CuNi 90/10 and CuNi 70/30 based on the amount of copper and nickel content. Copper nickel alloy is popularly known for its excellent strength, formability and weldability features. The iron and manganese offer excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting and stress corrosion cracking. Due to these features, CuNi is reliable for the manufacturing of Pipe Fittings. CuNi pipe fittings are used to regulate, change the flow direction and connect different piping sections in the piping systems. These pipe fittings are available in diverse range of types, standards, dimensions, sizes, and specifications as per the industry requirements. CuNi pipe fittings are used in the numerous industrial sectors due to its outstanding properties.
Uses of CuNi pipe fittings:
CuNi pipe fittings offers excellent resistance to brine water, organic compounds, alkaline salts, seawater, stress abrasion and non-oxidizing acids. Due to this feature, these fittings are widely used on the marine applications. CuNi pipe fittings offer reliable performance in industrial sectors such as chemical condensers, heat exchangers, shipbuilding, and offshore industries. These fittings offer higher mechanical strength and resistivity in higher pressure and temperature applications. These fittings are used in the desalination plants, underwater tubing and other salinity applications. These fittings offer higher durability in the elevated temperature applications that require higher strength. CuNi pipe fittings have excellent thermal conductivity that make it suitable or many industrial services that requires maximum heat transfer. These fittings are cost effective as they have less maintenance cost. CuNi pipe fittings are mainly used in Shipbuilding and repair applications that includes seawater cooling, chiller systems, inert gas, fire fighting etc. In desalination plants, these fittings efficiently used for recovery sections, brine heaters and heat rejection. Also CuNi pipe fittings are used for tubing in the evaporator systems. CuNi pipe fittings are suitable for oil and gas processing industries, power generations, turbine condensers, boat hulls etc. These fittings offer exceptional strength and resistivity in the applications that contains brackish water, seawater and fresh water.
