Can anyone help me with the performance or longevity of Alloy 706 (90Cu/10Ni) tubing running no more than 190deg. demineralized water?

The demin water will be very agressive on that alloy. It will likely be degraded by the Cu and the Ni be taken into the water. The alloy will be corroded by the water.

bimr, I could not find anything on that site for demineralized water. Only desalizied and distilled. Thank you.

There is one key difference between distilled and demineralized water and that is the dissolved oxygen content. However, once the distilled water is stored in a tank open to the atmosphere that difference goes away. But the DO content makes a very big difference in the corrosivity of the water.
