Purple copper pipes have high requirements for copper purity, with copper content generally reaching over 99.95%. A very small amount of impurities, especially phosphorus, arsenic, aluminum, etc., can greatly reduce the conductivity of copper. Therefore, purple copper pipes have performance advantages over other pipes. So, do you know the characteristics and uses of copper pipes? Editor Ruiqi has provided a detailed summary for everyone today. Let's take a look together.

1、 Characteristics of Copper Tube

1. Hard texture

Copper pipes are harder than plastic pipes and have the high strength of ordinary metals (the strength of cold drawn copper pipes is equivalent to that of steel pipes with the same wall thickness). Not easily corroded, and resistant to high temperature and pressure, it can be used in various environments. The main material of copper pipes is copper, with a melting point of up to 1083 degrees Celsius. The temperature of the hot water system is negligible for copper pipes, so as long as it is used correctly, there is no need to worry about safety issues.

2. Durable and durable

Copper has stable chemical properties, combining cold resistance, heat resistance, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, and fire resistance (copper has a melting point of up to 1083 degrees Celsius), making it suitable for long-term use in different environments. The service life of copper pipes can be as long as or even longer than that of buildings.

3. Can withstand extreme temperature

Copper pipes can withstand extremely cold and hot temperatures, with a wide range of applications from -196 ℃ to 250 ℃, and can adapt to drastic temperature changes (- high temperature - low temperature - high temperature -). Their performance will not decrease due to long-term use and drastic temperature changes, and they will not experience aging, which is beyond the reach of ordinary pipes.

4. Safe and reliable use

Copper pipes are easier to bend than ordinary metals, have good toughness and high ductility, and have excellent vibration resistance, impact resistance, and frost heave resistance. The linear expansion coefficient of copper pipes is very small, which is 1/10 of that of plastic pipes. They can resist fatigue and will not cause excessive thermal expansion and contraction during temperature changes, leading to stress fatigue fracture.

5. Beneficial to health

When choosing or decorating a house, few people ask about the water supply pipeline of the house. In fact, the material of the water supply pipeline can greatly affect people's health status. Red copper water pipes have strong sterilization and disinfection capabilities. Escherichia coli in the water supply no longer propagates in the copper pipes, and over 99% of the bacteria in the water disappear on their own after entering the copper pipes for 5 hours. This biological performance lies in the trace amount of copper ions dissolved in water in copper pipes, which have strong bactericidal ability.

2、 The use of copper tubes

1. Copper tubes are commonly used in heat exchange equipment such as condensers. It is also used for assembling low-temperature pipelines in oxygen production equipment. Copper pipes with small diameters are commonly used for conveying pressurized liquids (such as lubrication systems, oil pressure systems, etc.) and as pressure measuring pipes for instruments.

2. The corrosion resistance and processability of red copper can be melted and brazed, making it processed into pipes, strips, foils, pipes, bars, wires, wire rods, heterosexual copper materials, and copper castings.

3. T1 and T2 copper pipes are mainly used as conductive, thermal, and corrosion-resistant components, such as wires, cables, conductive screws, shells, and various conduits. T3 copper is mainly used as a structural material, such as in the production of electrical switches, washers, rivets, nozzles, and various conduits. It is also commonly used in some less important conductive components.
