Copper pipes (also known as copper pipes) are commonly used in water pipes, heating and cooling pipes and can be used in different environments. Copper pipes combine the advantages of metal and non-metal pipes. They are the best connection pipes in cold and hot water systems. Copper pipes are refractory and heat-resistant, maintaining their shape and strength at high temperatures without aging.
The pressure resistance of copper pipes is several times or even dozens of times that of plastic pipes and aluminum-plastic pipes, and it can withstand the highest water pressure in today's buildings. In the hot water environment, with the extension of the service life, the pressure bearing capacity of the plastic pipe decreases significantly, while the mechanical properties of the copper pipe remain unchanged in all thermal temperature ranges, so the pressure bearing capacity will not decrease, nor Aging will occur.
The linear expansion coefficient of the copper tube is very small, 1/10 of that of the plastic tube, and it will not cause stress fatigue cracking due to excessive thermal expansion and contraction.
The strength of the copper pipe is larger, and the outer diameter is smaller under the requirement of ensuring the effective inner diameter, which is more suitable for dark burial.
Copper pipes have a long history of application in buildings, and are recognized as pipes with excellent performance that have been fully tested by more than a hundred years and practical experience. As water supply pipes, gas pipes and heating pipes, they are unique. Copper pipes are widely used in developed countries in Europe and the United States. In my country, especially in Shanghai, copper pipes were widely used in buildings in the early days of liberation. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, people's living standards were relatively low, and they did not have high requirements for the quality of life. At the same time, due to the needs of national defense construction, copper was rarely used in residential buildings as a strategic material. After the reform and opening up, the regulations restricting the use of copper materials were cancelled, and the "Code for Design of Water Supply and Drainage in Buildings" also clarified the application of copper pipes in the provisions of pipe selection.
With the rapid growth of my country's economy and the rapid improvement of people's living conditions, people have higher requirements for the quality of life.
