Nestled in Hamilton, New Zealand, Blundell Pipes and Tubes has built a strong reputation for reliability and precision, particularly with their specialist Copper Nickel Instrumentation Tubing. They understand that in critical industries, the integrity of every component is paramount. This dedication to quality ensures that their tubing is more than just a product; it’s a trusted part of complex systems, designed to perform flawlessly under demanding conditions and backed by the expertise of a local manufacturer with a global standard of excellence.
This specific tubing is crafted from a copper-nickel alloy, often with a small iron addition, which gives it a distinct set of advantages. The composition naturally delivers excellent resistance to corrosion, especially against saltwater, making it incredibly durable. Mechanically, it offers good overall strength and, just as importantly, is easy to form and install. Its thermal conductivity is lower than pure copper, which can be a real benefit in many instrumentation scenarios.
