The advantages of copper water pipes are as follows:
Physical properties
- High strength: high strength of general metal, but also easier than the general metal bending, easy to twist, not easy to crack, not easy to break, resistance to freezing and expansion and impact resistance, the use of safe and reliable after installation, and even no need for maintenance and repair.
- Hard texture: It is not easy to corrode and is resistant to high temperature and pressure, so it can be used in many environments. For example, while many other pipes lose strength rapidly at high temperatures, making them unsafe for use in hot water piping, copper's melting point is 1083 degrees Celsius, so the temperature of a hot water system has little effect on copper pipes.
- Lightweight: Compared with other ferrous threaded pipes of the same internal diameter, copper does not need to be as thick as ferrous metal, is cheap to install and transport, and is very easy to maintain.
- Good thermal conductivity: The ability to transfer water temperature and heat quickly improves the efficiency of water supply, heating and cooling systems.
Hygiene and health aspects
- Strong antimicrobial properties: various modifiers, auxiliaries, additives and other chemical compositions of plastic pipes in copper pipes. Copper ions have a strong disinfection and sterilization effect, can kill a variety of bacteria including Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Legionella, etc., can prevent the growth of bacteria inside the water quality, keep the water clean, avoid secondary pollution, ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of drinking water.
- Good denseness: the organization structure is extremely dense, whether it is grease, bacteria, viruses, oxygen and ultraviolet rays can not pass through it and pollute the water quality.
Economic and installation aspects
- Long life: it is a proven durable pipe, not easy to break, once installed and used, it has a long service life and reduces the cost and trouble of replacing pipes.
- Firm Connection: Purple copper pipe and purple copper fittings are connected with strong firmness, which reduces the risk of water leakage.
- Easy to process and install: copper is light in quality, compared with other ferrous metal threaded pipes with the same inner diameter, copper does not need to have the thickness of ferrous metal, the transportation cost of installing copper pipe is low, and it is very easy to maintain it. Copper also has the property of being able to change shape at will, so copper pipe can be bent or deformed, and is also easy to connect.
- Recyclability: It can be recycled and reused, which is conducive to environmental protection and in line with the concept of sustainable development.
