Copper materials that can be used in domestic water are C12200 copper pipe, C83600 copper alloy and C69300 copper alloy.
What kind of copper materials can be used in domestic water?
When choosing materials for domestic water, you should choose those materials that are harmless to human body and will not cause pollution to water quality, and among these materials, copper materials are the most commonly used. Which copper materials can be used in domestic water?
1. C12200 copper pipe
C12200 copper tubing is one of the most commonly used tubing materials in life and is often used in drinking water and air conditioning systems. This material is treated to naturally form an antimicrobial layer on its surface, which prevents bacteria from multiplying on its surface. In addition, C12200 copper tubing has excellent corrosion and high temperature resistance, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments.
2. C83600 copper alloy
C83600 copper alloy is also very common when used in domestic water. It is an extremely corrosion-resistant material that can resist the corrosion of chemicals such as chlorides and sulfides. In addition, C83600 copper alloy has high temperature properties and very good abrasion resistance, making it an ideal material for use in domestic water.
3. C69300 Copper Alloy
C69300 copper alloy is a copper material with high strength and corrosion resistance. It is also widely used in domestic water, such as municipal water pipelines and faucets. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, C69300 copper alloy can be used for a long time without being damaged by corrosion.
Second, the advantages and limitations of copper materials
Copper material has many advantages in domestic water. First of all, copper is a safe, environmentally friendly material, will not cause harm to human beings and will not cause pollution to the water quality. Secondly, copper material has excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature performance, can withstand a variety of different environments, long service life. In addition, the proper use of copper materials can prevent the propagation of bacteria in the pipeline.
However, copper materials also have their limitations. First, copper is relatively expensive. Second, copper materials are susceptible to certain chemicals, such as calcium and magnesium in hard water, which can form copper scale and reduce water flow. In addition, in some water sources with high carbonate content, copper materials may also be corroded.
Third, the relevant standards for copper materials
In order to ensure the safety of water for domestic use, countries have developed relevant standards for copper pipes. For example, in the United States, the production of copper pipe manufacturers must comply with the standard ASTM B88, to ensure that the production of copper pipe in line with the standard of living water. In China, there are several standards that apply to the production and use of copper materials, such as GB/T 12771 and GB/T 18033.
