Copper pipes combine the advantages of both metallic and non-metallic pipes. It is harder than plastic pipes and has the high strength of ordinary metals (the strength of cold drawn copper pipes is equivalent to that of steel pipes with the same wall thickness); It is easier to bend than ordinary metals, has good toughness and high ductility, and has excellent resistance to vibration, impact, and frost heave.
Copper pipes can withstand extremely cold and hot temperatures, with a wide range of applications from -196 ° C to 250 ° C, and can adapt to drastic temperature changes (- high temperature - low temperature - high temperature -). Their performance will not decrease due to long-term use and drastic temperature changes, and they will not experience aging. This is beyond the reach of ordinary pipes.
The linear expansion coefficient of copper pipes is very small, 1/10 of that of plastic pipes, and can resist fatigue. Excessive thermal expansion and contraction will not occur during temperature changes, leading to stress fatigue fracture.
These characteristics make copper pipes highly advantageous for application in cold regions. In severely cold areas, there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and ordinary pipes have a large linear expansion coefficient and low strength, which easily leads to stress fatigue fracture caused by thermal expansion and contraction. Some claim to be non brittle at -20 degrees, but they cannot withstand working pressure and have a short service life, which is not practical. Although insulation measures can be taken, it is difficult to avoid encountering low temperatures during transportation, storage, and installation. The performance of copper pipes is the same at -183 degrees and room temperature.
