70/30 copper nickel pipe, also known as C71500 copper nickel pipe, CuNi 70/30 pipe or CuNi30Mn1Fe pipe, containing approximately 70% copper and 30% nickel, is a copper nickel alloy pipe designed for seawater service and harsh marine environments. The higher nickel content gives the alloy improved mechanical strength and enhanced resistance to erosion corrosion compared with 90/10 copper nickel, especially in more demanding seawater and offshore environments.


C71500 copper nickel pipe performs well in high-velocity seawater and aggressive marine conditions. It forms a protective surface film in seawater, helping reduce corrosion rates and extend the service life of piping systems. Because of its excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability and reliable long-term performance, 70/30 copper nickel pipe is commonly selected for offshore platforms, naval vessels, desalination units, heat exchangers and critical seawater piping systems. We supply 70/30 copper nickel pipes in seamless and welded types according to ASTM, EN, EEMUA, DIN and customer project specifications.

Difference Between 70/30 and 90/10 Copper Nickel Pipe


Both 70/30 and 90/10 copper nickel pipes are widely used in marine seawater piping systems. The main difference is the nickel content, strength and resistance to more severe service conditions.

Typical UseSevere marine, offshore and high-velocity seawater systemsGeneral marine seawater piping systems

70/30 copper nickel pipe C71500 is recommended when the piping system requires higher strength, better erosion resistance or improved performance in more demanding seawater environments. 90/10 copper nickel pipe C70600 is more commonly used for general marine seawater systems where good corrosion resistance and cost efficiency are required.
