Copper water pipes have a history of use in China as follows:
1. Early small amount of application stage
- In ancient China, although there was no large-scale use of copper water pipes, there were a few examples of copper piping applications. For example, in some high-specification buildings or specific places, copper piping may be used to transport water or other liquids, but this is not a common phenomenon.
2. The modern phase of gradual promotion
- In the late 20th century, with the development of China's economy and the progress of the construction industry, copper plumbing began to receive gradual attention. Its good corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and other properties are gradually recognized, in some high-grade buildings, hotels, hospitals and other water quality and piping performance requirements of high places began to use.
- In 2000, the Ministry of Construction and other four ministries and commissions jointly issued a document advocating the use of copper water pipes. After that, the relevant departments and industries continue to promote the application of copper water pipe, formulated a number of standards and norms to promote the development of copper water pipe industry.
3. Current application status
- Nowadays, copper water pipe in China's building water supply and drainage field has certain applications, but due to its higher price, installation difficulties and other factors, the market share relative to stainless steel water pipe, plastic water pipe and so on still have a certain gap. However, in some of the water quality requirements are very high, the need to ensure the reliability of the pipeline and durability of special occasions, copper water pipe is still an important choice.
In general, the history of the use of copper water pipe in China has experienced a small number of applications from ancient times to the modern gradual promotion of the process, with the continuous progress of technology and people's water quality requirements, the prospects for the application of copper water pipe is also developing.
