Bosega Pipes and Tubes stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of Copper Nickel Seamless Tubing right in Cape Town, South Africa. They offer high-quality tubing solutions that are built to resist corrosion, ensure durability, and deliver long-lasting performance. Copper-nickel alloys are famous for their remarkable ability to withstand seawater corrosion, biofouling, and erosion, making them perfect for marine, offshore, and desalination projects. Bosega takes pride in their precision seamless manufacturing, which guarantees smooth internal surfaces, consistent wall thickness, and tight dimensional tolerances, resulting in tubing that you can count on even in the toughest industrial and marine environments.
When it comes to Copper Nickel Seamless Tubing, you typically find two main compositions: Cu-Ni 90/10 (90% copper, 10% nickel) and Cu-Ni 70/30 (70% copper, 30% nickel), with small amounts of iron and manganese added in. This blend offers fantastic resistance to corrosion from seawater and brackish water, along with high thermal conductivity and solid mechanical strength. On the mechanical side, the tubing boasts impressive tensile and yield strength, excellent ductility, and resistance to erosion, ensuring it remains durable and reliable in challenging and ever-changing conditions.
