Typically crafted from a 90/10 (Cu-Ni) alloy, Copper Nickel Boiler Tubing consists of 90% copper and 10% nickel, along with small amounts of iron (1.5%) and manganese to enhance strength and corrosion resistance. This alloy is known for its outstanding resistance to scaling and stress corrosion cracking, even in high-temperature situations. The tubing boasts a tensile strength ranging from 275 to 380 MPa, a yield strength of 105 to 150 MPa, and an elongation of 30% or more. It performs well at temperatures up to 400°C, showcasing high thermal conductivity and excellent resistance to erosion and biofouling in water-based systems.
