Differences between copper and brass pipes
Purple copper pipe and brass tube is people in the production of life in the use of more of the two major copper pipe, the two copper pipe from the composition of the material is somewhat similar to the use of high-quality copper as the main elements of processing production, while in use, its physical properties, chemical properties, including the use of the place will be different.
One: color
The color of purple copper pipe is a purple-red, while the color of brass pipe is generally golden yellow, there will be some gray-brown in the side wall of the brass pipe.
Hardness
The hardness of brass pipe is relatively higher than that of copper pipe, the content of pure copper in copper pipe is higher, while some other chemical elements will be added to the brass pipe, including various metal elements, the overall hardness will be enhanced, so the copper pipe can be used as a pipeline to connect the electric wires and water pipes.
Third: the use of temperature
The physical properties of copper elements are relatively stable, in the high temperature environment, it still does not appear catalytic bending, the use of copper pipe temperature can reach more than 200 degrees, while the brass pipe in the high temperature environment, its surface is easy to be oxidized, so in the oxygen equipment, usually used in the copper pipe.
Fourth: the use of the scene
Purple copper pipe is a seamless pipe after strict pressing, it can be used as water supply pipe, heating pipe, HVAC pipe, refrigeration pipe, and also can transmit some pressurized gases and liquids, and can be used as the pressure measuring pipe of instrumentation. The general use of brass pipe is mainly used in industry, can also be used to transmit the relevant liquids and gases, but because it does not have corrosion resistance, not any substance can be transmitted.
Five: weight
Higher content of pure copper in the copper pipe, its density will be higher, and the weight per unit volume of the pipe it will be higher, in contrast, the weight of the brass pipe is relatively light, and the wall thickness of the brass pipe is relatively thin, there will be a localized deformation in the transportation of the situation.
Sixth: health
Purple copper pipe in the manufacturing process, do not add chemical components, in the combustion or high temperature environment will not release toxic gases, while the brass pipe will be added to some other metal elements, in the high-temperature environment will produce other oxidizing reactions, from the health point of view, the purple copper pipe will be more advantageous.
