Copper TP1/C12000 Mechanical Properties

TP1/C12000 copper alloy is a phosphorus-deoxidized copper, a high-purity copper material with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and machinability. The "TP" in its name stands for "deoxidized phosphorus copper," and "1" indicates a lower phosphorus content. This material effectively reduces oxygen content through a phosphorus deoxidation process, avoiding hydrogen embrittlement while maintaining the inherent properties of copper. It is widely used in precision electronics, heat exchangers, and piping systems.

*Correct Selection: Select appropriate specifications (outer diameter, wall thickness) and conditions of copper tubing based on the actual application scenario (e.g., operating pressure, medium temperature, type of fluid being transported). For example, copper tubing used in refrigeration systems has extremely high requirements for cleanliness and dryness.

*Storage and Handling: Copper tubing should be stored in a dry, clean warehouse, avoiding contact with corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts. Handle with care during transport to prevent bumps, deformation, and surface scratches.

*Cutting: It is recommended to use a dedicated copper tubing cutter to ensure a clean, burr-free cut. If sawing is used, thoroughly remove any metal shavings from both inside and outside the pipe opening afterward.

*Pipe Bending: Use appropriate bending tools for cold bending to avoid excessively sharp bends that could cause wrinkling or collapse of the pipe wall.

*Welding and Brazing: This is a critical step in installation. Use appropriate solder and flux, and have the work performed by qualified personnel to ensure full, smooth welds without any gaps or incomplete welds. Thoroughly remove any residual flux after the operation.

*System Cleaning and Pressure Testing: After installation, purge or clean the entire piping system to ensure it is free of foreign objects. Finally, conduct a pressure test to check if the system's sealing meets requirements.

In plumbing and HVAC standards, copper tubing is commonly classified into three main types based on wall thickness: Type K, Type L, and Type M.

Type K: Has the thickest wall. It is the strongest and most durable, primarily used for underground burial, high-pressure applications, and where the highest level of protection is required.

Type L: Has a medium wall thickness. It is the most common and versatile type, widely used for residential and commercial water supply lines (hot and cold) and for many HVAC applications.

Type M: Has the thinnest wall. It is suitable for above-ground, low-pressure residential water supply lines and some drainage applications, offering a cost-effective solution where conditions allow.

The outside diameter (OD) is the same for all three types within a given nominal size. The difference lies in the inner diameter (ID), which decreases as the wall gets thicker.

Our copper product packaging always prioritizes safety protection and professional identification. Copper rods and profiles are securely bundled with steel straps and fixed on reinforced wooden pallets, with waterproof and moisture-proof film wrapped around the exterior. Copper tubes are equipped with protective caps on both ends and packaged in custom-designed cartons or wooden crates with internal cushioning materials. Copper plates and strips are interleaved with anti-rust paper and fully encapsulated in steel-edged crates. All packages are affixed with clear product labels, specifications, and moisture-proof tags. For high-purity copper materials or those with special application requirements (such as oxygen-free copper wires and high-end copper strips), we also offer professional nitrogen-filled sealed packaging to ensure complete oxygen isolation during transportation and storage, preventing oxidation and maintaining the optimal performance and surface condition of the materials.
