COPPER NICKEL OD-CAP
The Copper-Nickel OD-CAP by Nexus Alloys and Steels, also known as an Outside Diameter Cap, is a type of tube fitting that is used to seal the end of a pipe or tube. These caps are made from copper-nickel alloys, such as C71500, which are known for their excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. OD-CAPs by Nexus Alloys and Steels are precision-engineered components that consist of a plug, nut, and circlip, ensuring high-pressure leak-proof joints for tube fittings. They are ideal for high-pressure gasses, liquids, and vacuum applications
DESCRIPTION
These caps eliminate the need for welding and enable easy installation with wrenches or spanners. They are available in various sizes and shapes, and can be customized as per customer specifications
Key Features of Copper-Nickel OD-CAP
- Material : Made from high-quality copper-nickel alloys like C71500, known for their excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties
- Design : Precision-engineered to seal the end of a pipe or tube, ensuring high-pressure leak-proof joints
- Applications : Ideal for high-pressure gasses, liquids, and vacuum applications.
- Easy Installation : Eliminates the need for welding and can be easily installed with wrenches or spanners
- Variety : Available in various sizes and shapes, and can be customized as per customer specifications

GRADES
- Cu-Ni 90/10 (UNS C70600) : Known as Copper Nickel 90/10, this alloy is composed of 90% copper and 10% nickel, blended with iron and manganese to deliver impressive strength and corrosion resistance. Widely applied in marine settings, it exhibits remarkable resistance to seawater, brine water, organic compounds, salts, diluted non-oxidizing acids, and more
- Cu-Ni 70/30 (UNS C71500) : This grade features 70% copper and 30% nickel, with minor additions of iron and manganese enhancing overall strength and corrosion resistance. It surpasses Copper Nickel 90/10 in its resistance to corrosion and erosion, making it well-suited for demanding conditions in marine and industrial services
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
- ASTM Standard : ASTM B111 ASME SB111 / ASTM B466 ASME SB466 / ASTM B 467 ASME SB467 / ASTM B543, B552 ASME SB543 SB552, ASTM B151
- Size Range : 1/2" to 2" - pressure rating from 5 KG bar to 50 KG bar
- Material Composition : The copper nickel 70/30 tube fittings have 70% copper and 30% nickel and there are also iron and manganese present in the alloy. These caps possess improved strength and corrosion resistance properties compared to that of the Cuni 90/10 fittings
- Corrosion Resistance : Copper nickel tube fittings show excellent resistance to seawater corrosion. This is why they are used in different types of marine applications
- Strength : The nickel in the Cuni 70/30 C71500 OD-Cap improves its strength and corrosion resistance properties
