Copper tubes (also known as purple copper tubes) are commonly used in water piping, heating and cooling piping in a variety of environments. Combining the advantages of both metallic and non-metallic tubing, copper tubing is the best connection for hot and cold water systems. Copper tubing is fire and heat resistant, retaining its shape and strength at high temperatures without aging.
Copper tubing is several or even dozens of times more pressure-resistant than plastic and aluminum-plastic tubing, and can withstand the highest water pressures found in today's buildings. In the hot water environment, with the extension of the service life, the pressure capacity of the plastic pipe drops significantly, while the mechanical properties of the copper pipe remain unchanged in all the thermal temperature range, so its pressure resistance will not be reduced, and will not be aging phenomenon.
The linear expansion coefficient of copper pipe is very small, is 1/10 of the plastic pipe, will not cause stress fatigue rupture because of excessive thermal expansion and contraction.
Copper pipe is stronger, in order to ensure the effective inner diameter requirements, the outer diameter is smaller, more suitable for buried.
