Copper Nickel Fittings are very important and the most popular material due to the good properties such as high durability and non-corrosive nature, thus making them highly durable even under tough environmental conditions. Copper-Nickel alloy exists in different types, such as C70600 and C71500. The uses of copper-nickel fittings range from marine and offshore industries to desalination plants. It comes in different types, such as elbows, tees, reducers, and stub ends, which are fabricated using standards such as ASTM B366. The fittings have a long life span in tough situations since they are resistant to corrosion, biofouling, and wear. These types of pipe fittings make up cupro nickel fittings for marine offshore applications. Metinox Overseas is an established CuNi pipe fittings manufacturer in India. We manufacture high-quality pipe fittings made of 90/10 and 70/30 copper-nickel.
