Differences between copper and brass pipe
Purple copper pipe and brass tube is people in the production of life in the use of more of the two main copper pipe, the two copper pipe from the composition of the material is somewhat similar, are the use of high-quality copper as the main elements of processing production, while in use, its physical properties, chemical properties, including the use of the place will be different.
One: colour
The colour of purple copper pipe is a purple-red, while the colour of brass pipe is generally golden yellow, there will be some grey-brown in the side wall of the brass pipe.
Hardness
The hardness of brass pipe is relatively higher than that of copper pipe, the content of pure copper in copper pipe is higher, while in brass pipe some other chemical elements will be added, including a variety of metal elements, the overall hardness of it will be enhanced, so the copper pipe can be used as a wire and water pipe connection pipe.
Third: the use of temperature
The physical properties of copper elements are more stable, in the high temperature environment, it still does not appear catalytic bending, the use of copper pipe temperature can reach more than 200 degrees, and brass pipe in the high temperature environment, its surface is easy to be oxidised, so in the oxygen equipment, usually used in the copper pipe.
Fourth: the use of the scene
Copper pipe is strictly pressed seamless pipe, which can be used as water supply pipe, heating pipe, HVAC pipe, refrigeration pipe, and also can transmit some pressurised gases and liquids, and can be used as the pressure measuring pipe of instrumentation. The general brass pipe is mainly used in the industrial scene, can also be used to transmit the relevant liquids and gases, but because it does not have corrosion resistance, not any substance can be transmitted.
Five: weight
Higher content of pure copper in the copper pipe, its density will be greater, and the weight of the unit volume of the pipe it will be higher, in contrast, the weight of the brass pipe is relatively light, and the wall thickness of the brass pipe is relatively thin, in the transport of the local deformation of the situation.
Sixth: health
Purple copper pipe in the manufacturing process, do not add chemical components, in the combustion or high temperature environment will not release toxic gases, while the brass pipe will be added to some other metal elements, in the high temperature environment will produce other oxidation reactions, from the health point of view, the purple copper pipe will have more advantages.
