Wholesale 6mm OD Copper Nickel (Cunifer/Kunifer) Tubing – Cupro Nickel (CuNi) 90/10

This copper nickel (also called cupro nickel, cunifer, kunifer) tubing is made of 90% copper and 10% nickel, made by giant Chinese copper tube manufacturers that are ISO 9001 certified.

  • Much more softer than steel tubing
  • Extremely easy to bend and flare
  • Absolutely rust free
  • Meets SAE J1677 Surface Vehicle Standard
  • Suitable for ISO/DIN bubble flare, ISO/SAE double flare (inverted flare), and single flare.

NOTE:

  1. We can also supply tubing of 0.75mm, or even thicker wall , to further increase pressure resistance.
  2. Burst pressure calculation could vary according to the stress limit applied to the formula.

Pb=1.155*σs*(2-σs/σb)*lnK
K=D0/(D0-2δ)
