COPPER NICKEL END CAP forged fittings

The Copper-Nickel End Cap from Nexus Alloys and Steels is a type of forged fitting used to seal the end of a pipe or tube. It provides a protective barrier, preventing the escape of fluid or gas from the pipe. These End Caps are crafted from copper-nickel alloys, which exhibit excellent resistance to seawater, corrosion, and biofouling. Copper-nickel End Caps are typically made from Cu-Ni 90/10 (90% copper and 10% nickel) or Cu-Ni 70/30 (70% copper and 30% nickel). They come in various designs, including seamless and seam-welded variants. The dimensions and sizes of these End Caps adhere to European standards such as EEMUA and DIN. The primary function of a copper-nickel End Cap is to close off the end of a pipe or tube, ensuring a leak-proof connection. These fittings are commonly used in marine applications, offshore platforms, and other environments where corrosion resistance is critical
