Advantages of copper tubing

Answer:

Brass can withstand extreme heat and extreme cold temperatures from 196 degrees to 250 degrees wide application range, and adapt to the drastic changes in temperature (high temperature low temperature and high - Performance), the use will not decrease due to dramatic changes in temperature and long-term use, will not produce the aging phenomenon. This is what ordinary pipe can not do. The linear expansion coefficient of copper tube is very small. It is 1/10 of plastic pipe. It can resist fatigue. Excessive thermal expansion and cold contraction do not result in stress fatigue rupture when the temperature changes. These characteristics make copper tube extremely advantageous in cold area. In the cold area, the temperature difference between the morning and the evening is large, and the linear expansion coefficient of the common pipe is large and the strength is low. It is easy to produce stress fatigue cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. Some so-called -20 degrees, but can not bear the pressure of work, and the service life is short, do not have the practical significance, although can use insulation measures, but in the transportation, storage and installation process encounter cold is difficult to avoid, and brass performance is the same in -183 and at ambient temperature.
The copper pipe is hard, easy to corrode, high temperature resistant and high pressure resistant. It can be used in many environments. Compared with this, many other pipe defects are obvious, such as in the past residential multi-purpose galvanized steel pipe, very easy to rust, the use of time is not long, there will be yellow water, water flow and other issues. Some materials can be rapidly lowered at high temperatures, creating unsafe conditions for hot water pipes, and copper melting points up to 1083 degrees Celsius. The temperature of the hot water system is negligible for copper tubes. Archaeologists found in Egyptian pyramids 4500 years ago, the copper water pipe, still can use. The main advantages of copper pipe, copper pipe sets of metal pipe and non-metallic pipe advantages in one. It is hard plastic pipe, high strength with metal (steel cold drawn tubes with same intensity of wall thickness; equivalent) it is generally flexible metal, and good toughness, with anti vibration, impact resistance and frost resistance performance.
