Bosega Pipes and Tubes stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of Copper Nickel Boiler Tubing in Cape Town, South Africa. They offer high-quality tubing solutions that are crafted for exceptional corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and long-lasting durability. Copper-nickel alloys are well-known for their remarkable ability to resist seawater corrosion, biofouling, and erosion, making them perfect for marine, power generation, and industrial boiler applications. Bosega takes pride in their precision manufacturing, ensuring smooth internal surfaces, consistent wall thickness, and tight dimensional tolerances, which results in tubing that performs reliably even under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.
Typically, Copper Nickel Boiler Tubing is made from either Cu-Ni 90/10 (90% copper, 10% nickel) or Cu-Ni 70/30 (70% copper, 30% nickel), with small amounts of iron and manganese added. This specific alloy composition offers excellent corrosion resistance in both fresh and seawater, along with superior thermal conductivity and solid mechanical strength. In terms of mechanics, the tubing boasts high tensile and yield strength, outstanding ductility, and dependable erosion resistance, ensuring it performs consistently in demanding boiler and heat exchanger systems.
