ASME SB111 C44300 / CuZn28Sn1 / CZ111 Brass Seamless Condenser Tube

Overview:

C44300 seamless tube is a type of copper-nickel alloy tube that is highly resistant to corrosion and erosion in seawater environments. It is often used in marine applications, including seawater cooling systems, desalination plants, and submarines.

The C44300 alloy consists of 70% copper and 30% nickel, which results in excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, biofouling, and erosion. The alloy also has good strength and ductility, making it suitable for use in high-pressure applications.

The seamless tube production process involves drawing a solid copper-nickel billet through a piercing rod to create a hollow tube. This process produces a uniform wall thickness and a smooth internal surface, making the tube suitable for use in high-velocity seawater flow, reducing the risk of internal fouling and erosive wear.

The C44300 seamless tube is available in various sizes and thicknesses, and can be customized to meet specific end-user requirements. It is highly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion and retains its excellent corrosion resistance at high temperatures, making it ideal for use in seawater heat exchangers.

C44300 seamless tubes have excellent thermal conductivity and low electrical resistivity, making them suitable for use in heat transfer applications. They are also used in the manufacturing of marine components such as valves, pumps, and seawater intake screens.
