Copper Nickel Fittings

Copper Nickel Fittings include Elbows, Tees, Stud Ends, Reducers, Caps and Flanges are all held in stock at our Aberdeenshire warehouse. Fittings and Flanges can be produced in both EEMUA and ANSI dimensional standards. 
 
Copper Nickel C70600 (90/10) and C71500 (70/30) fittings prove to have very good resistance to seawater, brine water, organic compounds, neutral and alkaline salts, diluted non-oxidizing acids, and more. The copper nickel alloys are most commonly used in seawater environments because of the anti-fouling. Copper nickel creates a thin tenacious protective film formation, which eliminates any marine life to adhere to the pipe walls. Observations in velocity tests over a number of years indicates that the surface profile of copper nickel tended to become smoother rather than rougher at velocities where metal loss reached measurable amounts.
