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.
Properties
OD | 4.76+/-0.08mm |
Wall | 0.7+/-0.08mm |
Tensile Strength | 40 ksi (275MPa) |
Yield Strength | 15 ksi (105MPa) |

NOTE:
- We can also supply tubing of 0.75mm, or even thicker wall , to further increase pressure resistance.
- Burst pressure calculation could vary according to the stress limit applied to the formula.
Pb=1.155*σs*(2-σs/σb)*lnK
