Products Description

 

ASTM B111 covers seamless tubes and pipes made from copper-nickel alloys with excellent corrosion and biofouling resistance in seawater and brine solutions. The most common grades include:

UNS C70600 (90-10 Copper Nickel): 90% Copper, 10% Nickel, with small additions of iron and manganese for improved corrosion and erosion resistance.

UNS C71500 (70-30 Copper Nickel): 70% Copper, 30% Nickel, offering higher strength and resistance to high-velocity seawater conditions.

These copper-nickel seamless tubes are used extensively in shipbuilding, offshore oil platforms, desalination units, condensers, and heat exchangers due to their durability, weldability, and excellent heat transfer performance.

Each tube is inspected and tested according to ASTM B111 and ASME SB111 requirements for dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, and eddy current integrity.
