Copper tubes, also known as red copper tubes, are pressed and drawn seamless tubes.
Copper tubes are light in weight, have good thermal conductivity, and high low-temperature strength. They are often used to manufacture heat exchange equipment (such as condensers, etc.). They are also used to assemble low-temperature pipelines in oxygen production equipment. Copper tubes with small diameters are often used to transport pressurized liquids (such as lubrication systems, oil pressure systems, etc.) and pressure gauges for instruments, etc.
Copper tubes are the first choice for modern contractors to install tap water pipes, heating and cooling pipes in all residential commercial houses.
1. Because copper tubes are easy to process and connect, they can save materials and total costs during installation, have good stability and reliability, and can save maintenance.
2. Copper is light. For twisted threaded pipes of the same inner diameter, copper tubes do not require the thickness of ferrous metals. When installed, copper tubes have lower transportation costs, easier maintenance, and take up less space.
3. Copper can change shape. Because copper tubes can bend and deform, they can often be made into elbows and joints, and smooth bends allow copper tubes to bend at any angle.
4. Copper is easy to connect.
5. Copper is safe. It does not leak, does not support combustion, does not produce toxic gases, and is corrosion-resistant.
Copper pipes are resistant to high temperatures and can be used in a variety of environments. In comparison, the shortcomings of many other pipes are obvious. For example, galvanized steel pipes, which were often used in residential buildings in the past, are very easy to rust. After a short period of use, problems such as yellowing of tap water and reduced water flow will occur. Some materials will quickly reduce their strength at high temperatures, which will cause unsafe hazards when used for 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 water pipes dating back 4,500 years in the Egyptian pyramids, which are still in use today.
