DIN 86019 CuNi 90/10 Pipes
Copper Nickel C70600 Seamless Pipes for Seawater Service
DIN 86019 CuNi 90/10 pipes, also known as Copper Nickel C70600 pipes, are high-performance copper alloy pipes specifically designed for seawater, marine, and heat exchanger applications.
With excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, biofouling, and erosion, CuNi 90/10 pipes are widely used in shipbuilding, offshore platforms, desalination plants, and power generation systems.
Manufactured according to DIN 86019, these pipes provide reliable performance and long service life in harsh marine environments.
What Is DIN 86019 CuNi 90/10?
DIN 86019 is a German standard specifying requirements for seamless copper-nickel alloy pipes used in marine and industrial applications.
CuNi 90/10 refers to an alloy containing approximately 90% copper and 10% nickel, offering an optimal balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity.
This material is internationally recognized as UNS C70600.
