Copper pipe, also known as purple copper pipe, is a non-ferrous metal pipe that offers unique advantages. It is produced through a pressing and drawing process and is strong, durable and corrosion-resistant. Because of this, copper pipe has become an indispensable plumbing material in modern construction and is widely used in the installation of water, heating and cooling systems. Compared to plastic and aluminum-plastic pipes, copper pipes have a significantly higher pressure resistance and can easily cope with the highest water pressure in a building. What's more, while plastic pipes gradually lose their pressure-bearing capacity when used in hot water for a long period of time, copper pipes maintain their excellent mechanical properties, with stable pressure resistance and no aging. Therefore, copper pipe is undoubtedly the best choice for water supply pipe.
First of all, its durability is obvious.
Copper is chemically stable, not only cold and heat resistant, but also pressure, corrosion and fire resistance. This means that copper pipes can be used for a long time in a variety of harsh environments, and their service life can even be comparable to that of a building. For example, the copper plumbing fittings installed in Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) Hospital in the 1920s have survived more than 70 years and are still performing well, which is a testament to the durability of copper pipes.
Secondly, the safety of copper pipe is also trusted.
It combines the advantages of both metallic and non-metallic pipes: it is hard as metal and highly resilient. Copper pipe is as strong as steel pipe, yet more bendable and adaptable. In addition, its excellent resistance to vibration, impact and freezing and expansion makes it stable in both extremely cold and hot temperatures, and its wide range of applications from -196 to 250 degrees Celsius is beyond the reach of ordinary pipes.
Furthermore, the hygienic and healthy performance of copper pipe is also reassuring.
Because it does not contain the various modifiers, additives and additives and other chemical components in plastic pipe, copper pipe ensures the purity of water. Biological studies have shown that E. coli bacteria in the water supply cannot reproduce in copper pipes, and more than 99% of the bacteria in the water will be completely killed after 5 hours of entering the copper pipe. The dense organizational structure of copper pipe makes grease, bacteria, viruses, oxygen and ultraviolet light and other harmful substances can not penetrate, thus ensuring the absolute safety of water quality.
In addition, copper pipes have significant environmental advantages.
Since it does not contain any chemical additives, it does not release toxic gases during combustion, ensuring safety in use. At the same time, the high utilization rate of copper regeneration is conducive to environmental protection, in line with the concept of sustainable development of green building materials.
In addition, copper pipes also excel in connection firmness.
In the market, despite the wide variety of pipes, copper fittings still dominate at the interface. This is because when copper pipes are connected to copper fittings, their robustness is significantly enhanced, which is difficult to match with other pipes.
Copper tubes are also widely used in several fields, such as condenser tubes, crystallizer copper tubes, air conditioner copper tubes and so on. At the same time, according to different needs, various shapes and specifications of copper tubes can also be produced, such as thin-walled copper tubes, capillary copper tubes, hardware copper tubes, shaped copper tubes and so on.
