Copper Tubes

Copper tubes are widely used in various applications, primarily in theair conditioning andrefrigeration industry, as well as inplumbing andindustrial piping systems.

1、Air conditioning and refrigeration

Copper tubes are the core component ofheat exchangers and play a crucial role inthermal management systems. They are used inevaporators andcondensers to facilitate heat transfer between refrigerant and ambient air/water. ‌

2、Plumbing and industrial applications

Copper pipes are commonly used inbuilding water supply systems for hot and cold water distribution. They are also employed inmedical equipment plumbing, fuel lines (e.g.,natural gas orpropane), and industrial cooling systems.

3、Small diameter applications

In the air conditioning sector, small diameter copper tubes (≤5mm) are used incopper-aluminum finned heat exchangers, which are lightweight and efficient for residential and commercial cooling systems.

4、Oil/fuel transportation

Copper tubes with smooth interior surfaces are suitable for transporting oils, gasoline, and other fluids, thanks to their corrosion resistance and dimensional stability. ‌

Advantages

Biostatic properties

Inhibits the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.

Corrosion resistance

Naturally resists rust and other forms of corrosion.

Durability

Copper pipe can last 50 years or more when properly installed.

Heat tolerance

Performs well in both hot and cold water applications.

Recyclability

Copper is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Copper Pipe Sizes

Copper pipe is available in various diameters to accommodate different flow requirements. Having a variety of sizes ensures that each pipe can be used for its intended purpose, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. The standard sizings are:
· 1/2 inch
· 3/4 inch
· 1 inch
· 1 1/4 inch
· 1 1/2 inch
· 2 inch
The most common sizes for residential use are 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch, and larger diameters are more common in commercial or industrial applications.

How is Copper Tubing and Pipe Made

Manufacturing Steps	Copper Pipe	Copper Tube
Extrusion	To Make a Hollow Tube, Heated Copper Billets Are Pressed Through a Die.	Same Extrusion Method, Usually With a Sketching Step in Between.
Machining	To Obtain Precise Dimensions, Threads, or Fittings, Pipes May Need to Be Further Machined After Extrusion.	Less Machining May Be Required for Tubes; Annealing and Drawing Are Used to Produce the Desired Final Dimensions and Smoothness.
Drawing Process	Pipe Dimensions Are Mainly Achieved via Extrusion and Machining; They Are Not Frequently Required.	To Get the Desired Size, the Tube is Drawn, Which Improves Smoothness and Precision.
Annealing	Not Frequently Used for Pipes; Pipes Are Usually Toughened for Certain Purposes.	Frequently Annealed to Increase Ductility and Flexibility for Bending and Other Uses.
Pressure Testing	To Make Sure They Adhere to High-pressure and Plumbing Requirements, Pipes Are Frequently Pressure Tested.	Depending on the Use, Such as Medical Gas Systems or Refrigeration, Tubes May Undergo Pressure Testing.
Dimensional Accuracy	Attained by Precise Machining and Extrusion in Order to Satisfy Astm B280 or B88 Standards.	Attained by Means of Extrusion and Drawing Procedures in Order to Comply With Astm B251 and B75 Standards.
Bending	Pipes Are Less Flexible; to Bend Them Into a Precise Angle or Curve, Fittings or Tools Are Needed.	Bending Tubes Can Be Accomplished Manually or With Basic Tools Due to Their Increased Flexibility.

Comparison of Copper Tube Types

Type K

The thickest-walled type, best suited for underground water supply lines or other high-pressure, demanding applications.
Type L

Has a thinner wall than Type K and is the most common type for interior residential and commercial water supply and pressure applications.
Type M

Even thinner than Type L, this is often used for lower-pressure residential and commercial heating applications.
Type DWV

The thinnest type, designed for non-pressurized applications like drain, waste, and vent lines.

Feature	Type K	Type L	Type M	Type DWV
Wall Thickness	Thickest	Medium	Thin	Thinnest
Pressure Rating	Highest	High	Moderate	Non-Pressurized
Common Uses	Underground Mains, Commercial	Interior Plumbing, HVAC, Fire	Residential Water Lines	Drains, Waste, Vents
Color Code	Green	Blue	Red	Yellow
Available Forms	Rigid & Soft	Rigid & Soft	Primarily Rigid	Primarily Rigid

Package

Standard export package,suit for all kinds of transport,or as required.
