Copper pipe is relatively soft, but the hardness varies depending on how the copper pipe is made and its thickness.
I. Hardness of copper pipe
Copper pipe is relatively soft, most of the copper pipe hardness Rockwell B55 to B90. however, this does not mean that the copper pipe has no strength, in fact, copper pipe has a strong corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity, so it is widely used in industry, construction, manufacturing.
Second, the use of copper pipe
1. Cold water piping
In the family, we commonly use most of the cold water pipe using copper pipe. Copper pipe has strong corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity, and its soft performance is also one of the reasons for installing it as a water pipe.
2. Air conditioning and refrigeration
Copper pipes are also widely used in air conditioning refrigeration. Copper tubes in air conditioning and refrigeration not only need to be flexible, but also need to have high thermal conductivity. The flexible nature of copper pipe makes it easier to bend and install, and also easier to adapt to changes in the installation environment.
3. Mechanical processing
Copper pipe is also commonly used in mechanical processing. For example, copper tubing can be used to make parts such as pipes, clamps, connectors, conductors and insulating sleeves. The flexibility and strength of copper tubing are also important considerations in mechanical engineering.
In summary, although copper tubing is relatively soft, its strong corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity and good machinability make it widely used in a variety of fields.
