Products Description
Copper C10100, more commonly referred to as Oxygen-Free Electronic (OFE) Copper, is an ultrapure copper alloy known for its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity. Containing minimal amounts of oxygen, it makes an ideal material choice in applications where high conductivity is essential. Copper C10100 pipes stand out due to their exceptional conductivity. Rated at over 101% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), these pipes provide highly effective conductors of electricity and heat; making them invaluable in applications requiring reliable conductivity, such as electrical and thermal applications.
Copper C10100 pipes stand out among their competition due to their corrosion resistance. Copper naturally forms an oxide layer on its surface which protects it against corrosion and ensures long-term durability even under harsh environments. Thanks to this quality, these copper C10100 pipes can be found in plumbing systems, HVAC (Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning) systems and marine applications where moisture or other forms of corrosion is prevalent. Copper C10100 pipes are known for their malleability and ductility. These flexible pipes can easily be bent to meet installation requirements without compromising their structural integrity, making them suitable for complex piping systems or installations.
Copper C10100 pipes find widespread application across a range of industries. Electrical industry applications for these pipes include creating electrical wires and cables with excellent conductivity and low electrical resistance; heat exchangers; radiators; and thermal management systems are other uses that benefit from them due to their thermal conductivity properties. Copper C10100 pipes are widely utilized by plumbers for potable water systems due to their non-toxic qualities, as they offer hygiene, non-bacterial growth resistance, corrosion resistance, and reduced risks associated with leaks and contamination.
