Liam Pipes and Tubes is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of high-quality Copper Nickel Boiler Tubing, proudly based in Houston, USA. Known for their exceptional products and deep industry knowledge, this company provides tubing solutions that adhere to strict marine, industrial, and power generation standards. Their Copper Nickel Boiler Tubing is celebrated for its outstanding corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and durability in high-temperature, high-pressure situations. With a strong focus on precision engineering and customer satisfaction, Liam Pipes and Tubes caters to a variety of sectors, offering robust and reliable tubing designed specifically for critical heat exchanger and boiler system needs.
Copper Nickel Boiler Tubing mainly consists of copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni), with popular grades like 90/10 (90% Cu, 10% Ni) and 70/30 (70% Cu, 30% Ni). These alloys may also contain trace amounts of iron and manganese to boost strength and corrosion resistance. Mechanically, they showcase tensile strength between 275 to 500 MPa, along with impressive elongation and impact characteristics. Their remarkable resistance to seawater corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and biofouling makes them perfect for marine and boiler applications. The tubing remains stable and strong, even under high temperature and pressure conditions.
