ASTM B111 UNS C71500 Copper Nickel Seamless Pipe OD 1/2"-12" Condenser & Boiler Tube
1.Product Description
-
Copper-based nickel-alloy tubes, commercial grades: 90-10 (C70600, ~10% Ni) and 70-30 (C71500, ~30% Ni).
-
Micro-additions of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) enhance seawater corrosion resistance and erosion resistance. The alloy exhibits a single-phase face-centered cubic (FCC) structure with no risk of phase embrittlement over a wide temperature range.
-
Available in seamless (ASTM B466) and welded (ASTM B467) forms, featuring clean, oxide-free internal bores and precision cold-drawn dimensional tolerances.
2.Product Applications
-
Marine & Offshore: Seawater cooling systems, firewater lines, ballast piping.
-
Power Generation: Steam turbine condensers, feedwater heaters, air-cooler tube bundles.
-
Desalination: Heating sections and evaporator tubes in MSF and MED plants.
-
Oil & Gas Extraction: Platform utility piping, riser anti-corrosion sheathing.
-
General Industry: Hydraulic tubing, chemical-resistant piping for corrosive media.
3.Product Advantages
-
Ultra-low corrosion rate: ≤0.025 mm/year in seawater, with a self-healing surface oxide film.
-
Natural biofouling resistance: Continuous copper ion release creates a biostatic surface, extending cleaning intervals by over 60% compared to stainless steel.
-
Excellent strength-toughness balance: Tensile strength 275~345 MPa, elongation ≥25%, combining strength and ductility.
-
Superior workability: Compatible with TIG welding, brazing, mechanical expansion, and cold bending (minimum bend radius 1.5D) – no risk of stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
-
Long service life & recyclability: Design life 15~25 years, 100% recyclable, offering outstanding life-cycle economy.
