CuNi 90/10 Tube
CuNi10Fe1Mn (90/10) copper-nickel tube. Its resistance to seawater corrosion and biofouling makes it the standard material for shipboard and seawater cooling lines.

Grade and sizes
CuNi10Fe1Mn
A copper-nickel (90/10) alloy containing 9–11 % nickel, 1–2 % iron and 0.5–1 % manganese. It resists corrosion and erosion in seawater, and the protective surface film it forms largely prevents biofouling such as mussels and weed from attaching. It has good thermal conductivity and can be joined by welding and brazing. Used for seawater cooling, fire-fighting and bilge lines as well as condensers and heat exchangers.
Tube standard: ASTM B111 (seamless)

Frequently asked questions
Are CuNiFe and CuNi 90/10 the same?
Yes. The material traded as CuNiFe, CuNi10Fe or 90/10 is the copper-nickel alloy CuNi10Fe1Mn (CW352H, UNS C70600). The small-diameter tubing sold as “CuNiFe brake pipe” in the automotive trade is the same alloy, but it is a separate product with its own sizes and standards.
What are the designations for CuNi10Fe1Mn?
CuNi10Fe1Mn: CuNi 90/10, EN CW352H, DIN 2.0872, UNS C70600, BS CN102. Any of these designations can be used in your enquiry; we will match the correct material.
Why can the invoiced weight differ from the calculated weight?
The calculator gives the theoretical weight. The actual weight varies with dimensional tolerances and cutting allowance; we invoice on the actual weight as weighed.
What information should I send for a quote?
We only need the size (outside diameter × wall thickness × length), quantity and delivery location. If you fill in the calculator above, these details are added to the WhatsApp message automatically.
