Lightweight, good thermal conductivity, high low-temperature strength. Commonly used in the manufacture of heat exchange equipment (such as condensers, etc.). 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 as pressure gauges for instruments.
Copper tubes have the characteristics of being strong and corrosion-resistant, and have become the first choice for modern contractors to install water pipes, heating and cooling pipes in all residential commercial houses.
Copper tubes have many advantages: they are strong and have the high strength of general metals; at the same time, they are easier to bend, twist, crack, and break than general metals, and have certain resistance to frost heave and impact. Therefore, once copper water pipes are installed in the water supply system of the building, they are safe and reliable to use, and even do not require maintenance.
Copper pipes are hard and not easy to corrode. They are also resistant to high temperatures and high pressures 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, the tap water will turn yellow and the water flow will decrease. Some materials will quickly reduce their strength at high temperatures, which will cause unsafe risks 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 water pipes dating back 4,500 years in the Egyptian pyramids, which are still in use today.
