Liam Pipes and Tubes is a well-respected manufacturer and supplier of Copper Nickel Instrumentation Tubing, proudly based in Houston, USA. We specialize in providing precision tubing solutions tailored for instrumentation and control systems across marine, offshore, and industrial sectors. Our offerings include tubing in 90/10 (C70600) and 70/30 (C71500) Copper Nickel grades, celebrated for their outstanding corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and anti-biofouling properties. Crafted to meet ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards, our Copper Nickel tubing guarantees precise dimensional tolerances, impressive pressure ratings, and a long service life. With our global delivery capabilities, we ensure mission-critical systems receive consistent quality and reliability.
Copper Nickel Instrumentation Tubing is mainly made up of 90% copper and 10% nickel (C70600) or 70% copper and 30% nickel (C71500), with small amounts of iron and manganese added to boost strength and corrosion resistance. These alloys boast excellent mechanical properties, featuring tensile strengths that range from 275–520 MPa, along with good elongation and toughness. They show remarkable resistance to pitting, erosion, and stress corrosion in seawater and saline environments. Their high thermal conductivity, superb workability, and non-magnetic nature make them perfect for precision control systems and critical instrumentation in challenging conditions.
