Based in the industrial heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, Blundell Pipes and Tubes has built a strong reputation for supplying high-performance materials to a wide range of demanding industries. Our expertise particularly shines in the production and distribution of Copper Nickel pipes, known for their exceptional resilience. We understand that in critical environments, reliability is paramount, and we are committed to providing robust solutions that stand up to the test, supporting local and international projects with quality piping that is trusted for its longevity and superior performance.
The inherent strength of Copper Nickel, or CuNi, comes from its unique composition, typically a blend of copper with nickel and iron. This combination creates a material with outstanding mechanical properties, offering excellent tensile strength and remarkable resistance to corrosion, especially in aggressive saltwater settings. These pipes are also highly resistant to biofouling and possess superb thermal conductivity. This impressive durability means they can handle high pressures and temperatures, making them a go-to choice for engineers who need a piping material that combines toughness with long-term reliability.
