All You May Need Know about Copper Pipe
Copper Pipe (also known as copper tube or red copper pipe), is a type of non-ferrous seamless metal tube that is a pressed or drawn fabricated.
Copper tube has strong anti-corrosion performance, it is not easy to be oxidized, and is not easy to react with some liquid substances, and is easy to bend and shape.Copper Tube also has become the modern contractor's first choice to install plumbing water pipes, heating and refrigeration pipes system in all residential commercial properties.
The copper tube has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity characteristics, so it is prefered as conductive parts of electronic products and main materials of heat dissipation accessories.
Advantages of Copper Tubes
- Since the copper pipe is easy to process and connect, it can save material and total cost when it is installed, and copper tube has good stability and reliability, which can save maintenance work.
- Copper is light weight. For twisted threaded tubes of the same inner diameter, the copper tube does not require the thickness of ferrous metal. When installed, copper pipes are less expensive to transport, easier to maintain, and take up less space.
- Copper can change shape. Because the copper tube can be bent and deformed,
- Copper tube is very flexible, its smooth bending allows the copper tube to bend at any angle. factory could produce copper fittings by copper tube, such as elbows and joints.
- Copper is easy to connect.
- Copper is safe. No leakage, no combustion, no toxic gases, corrosion resistance.
- The pressure resistance of copper pipes is several times or even several times that of plastic pipes and aluminum-plastic pipes. It can withstand the highest water pressure in morden buildings. In the hot water environment, the pressure capacity of the plastic pipe is significantly reduced with the extension of the service life, and the mechanical properties of the copper pipe remain unchanged in all the hot temperature ranges, so the pressure resistance is not reduced, nor There will be aging phenomena.
- The linear expansion coefficient of the copper tube is very small, which is 1/10 of the plastic tube, and will not cause stress fatigue cracking due to excessive thermal expansion and contraction.
- The strength of the copper tube is greater, and the outer diameter is smaller under the requirement of the effective inner diameter, which is more suitable for burying.
Copper tubes are resistant to high temperatures and can be used in a variety of environments. Compared with this, the disadvantages of many other pipes are obvious. For example, the galvanized steel pipes used in residential buildings in the past are extremely rusty.
When the use time is short, there will be problems such as yellowing of water and small water flow. Some materials also have a rapid decrease in strength at high temperatures, which can cause unsafe hazards when used in hot water pipes. The melting point of copper is as high as 1083 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of the hot water system is negligible for copper pipes. Archaeologists have discovered copper pipes in the Egyptian pyramids dating back 4,500 years ago and are still available today.
