90/10 copper nickel pipe, also known as C70600 copper nickel pipe, CuNi 90/10 pipe or CuNi10Fe1Mn pipe, is a copper nickel alloy pipe containing approximately 90% copper and 10% nickel, with small additions of iron and manganese to improve corrosion resistance and strength in seawater environments.


C70600 copper nickel pipe is widely used in marine engineering because it forms a stable protective surface film in flowing seawater. This makes it highly suitable for long-term service in seawater cooling systems, fire water systems, ballast systems, bilge systems, desalination plants and offshore piping systems.


Compared with many other metallic piping materials, 90/10 copper nickel pipe offers a good balance of corrosion resistance, workability, weldability and service life, making it a preferred choice for marine seawater applications.


We supply 90/10 copper nickel pipes in seamless and welded types, manufactured according to ASTM, DIN, EN, EEMUA and project specifications. Custom sizes, lengths, end finishes and inspection requirements are available upon request.

90/10 Copper Nickel Pipe vs 70/30 Copper Nickel Pipe


Both 90/10 and 70/30 copper nickel pipes are used for seawater piping systems. The main difference is the nickel content and performance under more demanding service conditions.
