Brass tubing is a type of seamless tube made from brass, a non-ferrous metal, through processes of pressing and drawing.
The following is a detailed introduction to brass tubing:
1. Characteristics and Applications
Durable and Corrosion-Resistant: Brass tubing is known for its durability and corrosion resistance, making it the preferred choice for modern contractors in the installation of water supply, heating, and cooling systems in all residential buildings. They are also considered the best option for water supply pipes.
Lightweight and excellent thermal conductivity: Brass tubes are lightweight, have excellent thermal conductivity, and maintain high strength at low temperatures. They are commonly used in the manufacture of heat exchangers (such as condensers) and in oxygen production equipment for low-temperature piping. Small-diameter copper tubes are often used for conveying pressurized liquids (such as in lubrication systems or hydraulic systems) and as pressure measurement tubes for instruments.
2. Advantages
Cost-effective: Copper tubing is easy to process and connect, saving materials and total costs during installation. It offers excellent stability and reliability, reducing maintenance requirements.
Lightweight: For pipes with the same inner diameter, brass tubing does not require the thickness of black metal, resulting in lower transportation costs, easier maintenance, and reduced space requirements during installation.
·Flexible: Brass tubing can be bent and shaped, making it suitable for elbows and fittings. Smooth bends allow the tubing to be bent at any angle.
III. Types and Designation Methods
·Types: Based on the copper content in brass, there are different types of brass tubing, such as H68 brass tubing, H62 eco-friendly brass tubing, and H80 brass tubing.
·Designation Methods: According to the Chinese standard "Designation Methods for Non-Ferrous Metals and Alloy Products," brass is denoted by the code (Chinese pinyin letter) "H." Ordinary brass is denoted by "H" followed by the percentage of the base element copper, e.g., 68% copper is denoted as H68, 65% copper as H65, and so on.
In summary, brass tubes, due to their excellent performance and wide range of applications, play a significant role in various industries such as construction, refrigeration, and heat exchange equipment.
The company has a cluster of leading copper processing production lines in China, including:
German imported precision copper tube production line (annual output of 30,000 tons)
Japanese technology copper foil rolling line (thinnest up to 6μm)
Fully automatic copper bar continuous extrusion line
Intelligent copper sheet and strip finishing mill unit
Digitalized control and management of the whole production process is realized through MES system, and the dimensional accuracy of the products can reach ±0.01mm.
