90/10 Copper Nickel Pipe Fittings are made up of a cupronickel alloy that has 88.6% copper, 9% nickel and lead, manganese, iron and zinc in the composition. R.C. Metal Corporation is a leading manufacturer and supplier of the ASTM B171 UNS C70600 Buttweld Fittings as well as seamless and fabricated fittings of the same grade. The material has high copper content which makes it resistant against acidic components, oxidation and general corrosion. The material has 241MPa minimum yield strength and 551MPa minimum tensile strength. The Copper Nickel Pipe Fittings are also high temperature capable as their melting point is at 1443 degrees Celsius. These fittings fall under the specification ASTM B366 and the dimensions are according to the ASME B16.9 and B16.28 standards.
90/10 COPPER NICKEL PIPE FITTINGS
The nominal bore size of the Cupro Nickel 90/10 Forged Fittings ranges from ½ inches to 24 inches and there are different wall thicknesses. The wall thicknesses correspond to the schedules and there are sch5s through XXS schedules in this grade. The Cupro Nickel 90/10 Buttweld Pipe Fittings are used in various industrial applications. The material is resistant to chloride ion corrosion stress cracking. It is also resistant to ammonia in sea water. So these fittings do excellent in sea water and marine applications.
