The strength to weight ratio of Tungum Alloy compares most favourably with other materials. In tubes, this often affords the opportunity to employ SMALLER, LIGHTER SECTIONS – reducing the size and cost of fittings and supports also easing handling during fabrication, opening the way for more compact space systems.
The graph shows the results of burst tests conducted on identical samples of 1⁄2” O/D x 20SWG tubing.
Room temperature design strengths taken from BS1306 clearly confirm the outstanding performance of Tungum Alloy relative to other copper based materials.
| Copper | 41 N/mm2 |
| 90 / 10 CU.NI | 68 N/mm2 |
| 70 / 30 CU.NI | 82 N/mm2 |
| Tungum Alloy | 105 N/mm2 |
Short-Time Elevated Temperature Properties
The graphs apply to Tungum Alloy tubing in the annealed condition with the test piece maintained at the temperature for a period of 60 minutes.
