They are available in a range of sizes, making them versatile for various piping systems. With their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, Nexus Alloys and Steels has become a leading manufacturer and supplier of Copper Nickel Barrel Nipples

Key Features of Copper Nickel Barrel-Nipple

  • Material : It’s made from Cupronickel, a copper-nickel alloy known for its excellent resistance to corrosion, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and hydrogen embrittlement
  • Grades : Cupro Nickel is available in two grades: 90/10 Cupro-nickel and 70/30 Cupro-nickel, which are determined based on the amount of Copper and Nickel in the alloy
  • Design : Barrel nipples are characterized by their cylindrical shape and male threads on both ends. The name refers to their barrel shape, with the threads at each end providing a stronger connection than straight-thread fittings
  • Durability : Barrel nipples are designed for applications where corrosion resistance is paramount. They are made from stainless steel or brass, which have good corrosion resistance properties, differing in strength and durability when exposed to various elements
  • Versatility : Barrel Nipple Versatility is remarkable, as these nipples are suitable for different pipe sizes and structures. They are seamless and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for gas, air, water, and other plumbing applications
  • Easy Installation : Barrel nipples are also known for their ease of installation. They are designed to be a simple, straightforward solution for connecting pipes, requiring minimal tools and expertise
  • Size and Class : Copper Nickel Barrel Nipples are available in sizes from 1/2" NB to 36NB" , ANSI/ASME B 16.9; Schedule :10S/40S/80S

GRADES

  • Cu-Ni 90/10 (UNS C70600) : This grade is also known as Copper Nickel 90/10. It is composed of 90% copper and 10% nickel along with iron and manganese which provide high strength and corrosion resistance. This alloy is widely used in marine applications due to its excellent resistance to seawater, brine water, organic compounds, salts, diluted non-oxidizing acids, and more
  • Cu-Ni 70/30 (UNS C71500) : Also known as Copper Nickel 70/30, this grade contains 70% copper and 30% nickel along with small amounts of iron and manganese to enhance overall strength and corrosion resistance. It offers even better resistance to corrosion and erosion compared to Copper Nickel 90/10 and is used in severe duty conditions in marine and industrial services
