What Is Copper Tube & Pipe?
Product Definition:
Copper tubes and pipes are hollow, long-length products manufactured from high-purity copper through extrusion and precision drawing processes. With copper content of 99.9% or higher, copper tubes offer exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, outstanding corrosion resistance, excellent formability, and 100% recyclability. Copper has been the preferred material for HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, and industrial applications for over a century.
Key Characteristics:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| High Purity | Cu ≥99.9% (C11000 / C12200) – excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance |
| Thermal Conductivity | ~390 W/(m·K) – ideal for heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators |
| Electrical Conductivity | ≥101% IACS – excellent for electrical applications |
| Corrosion Resistance | Natural oxide layer provides long-term protection in most environments |
| Excellent Formability | Readily bent, flared, expanded, and soldered/brazed |
| Antibacterial Properties | Copper surfaces naturally kill 99.9% of bacteria – ideal for plumbing |
| 100% Recyclable | Environmentally friendly with no loss of properties |
