Light weight, good thermal conductivity and high low temperature strength. Commonly used in the manufacture of heat exchange equipment (such as condensers, etc.). It is also used to assemble cryogenic pipelines in oxygen production equipment. Copper pipes with small diameters are often used to transport liquids under pressure (such as lubrication systems, oil pressure systems, etc.) and pressure measuring pipes used as instruments.
Copper pipes are 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 buildings.
Copper pipes have many advantages in one: it is strong and has the high strength of ordinary metals; at the same time, it is easier to bend, twist, crack, and break than ordinary metals, and has a certain resistance to frost heave and impact. Once installed, the copper water pipes in the water supply system are safe and reliable to use, and do not even require maintenance and maintenance.
The copper pipe is hard in texture, not easy to corrode, and resistant to high temperature and high pressure, and can be used in a variety of environments. Compared with this, the shortcomings of many other pipes are obvious. For example, the galvanized steel pipes used in residential buildings in the past are very easy to corrode, and problems such as yellowing of tap water and small water flow will occur after a short period of use. There are also some materials whose strength will decrease rapidly at high temperature, which will cause unsafe hazard 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 ago in Egyptian pyramids, which are still in use today.
