- KME have carried out trials in cooperation with the university of Hamburg to prove the properties of resistance to marine growths of the alloy of copper nickel 90/10. Results after more than 2 years of exposure to north sea water at the island of Helgoland are shown in these pictures.
- Trials within a testloop at the E.ON powerstation Wilhelmshaven have shown that the presently recommended seawater velocity of 3.5 m/sec can be increased up to 5.0 m/sec for sizes 6" and up.
A detailed written report called "CuNi 90/10 Piping, the Optimum Material for Seawater Services" is available now!
