What Is Monel 400?

Alloy 400 (UNS N04400) is a nickel-copper alloy with about 65% nickel and 30% copper. It is renowned for resisting fast-flowing seawater, hydrofluoric acid and alkalis, and it keeps good toughness from cryogenic temperatures to about 480 °C.

  • Excellent resistance to flowing seawater and brackish water.
  • One of the few alloys used in hydrofluoric acid service.
  • Good resistance to alkalis, salts and many organic acids.

Monel 400 Tube Fittings: What to Know

Monel 400 tube fittings are machined from certified bar and used with Monel 400 tubing in instrument, sampling and injection lines carrying aggressive media. Fittings and tubing must be the same alloy so the ferrules grip correctly.

  • Can pit in stagnant seawater, and is attacked by oxidising acids such as nitric acid.
  • Not for high-sulphur gases above about 370 °C.

Frequently Asked Questions

Monel 400 Tube Fittings — FAQs

Alloy 400 is one of the few materials with good resistance to hydrofluoric acid, so it is the standard choice for piping and fittings in refinery HF alkylation units.

Yes, especially flowing seawater. In stagnant seawater, crevices and deposits can cause pitting, so design and maintenance should avoid stagnant conditions.

They should be used with Monel 400 tubing. Matching the materials ensures the ferrules grip correctly and that no part of the joint becomes the weak point for corrosion.

Every order is supplied with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates showing heat chemistry and mechanical properties to Alloy 400, UNS N04400. EN 10204 3.2 certification and inspection by your nominated third-party agency are available on request.
