The finished product of copper, copper tube, is a highly respected high-quality pipe and is widely used in air conditioning and refrigeration, HVAC, medical oxygen, ships, heating, water pipes and other fields. And because the recycling of copper is beneficial to the environment, copper pipes are also sustainable green building materials. The copper accessories currently on the market, such as evaporators and condensers, air conditioning refrigerant copper tubes, etc., are all processed by processing red copper tubes. With the continuous development of society, people have a higher level of pursuit of quality of life. As a high-quality pipe material, copper tubes are increasingly inseparable from human daily life.
Characteristics of copper pipe
The copper pipes on the market are mainly brass and copper. The copper content of brass tubes is less than 70%, with high impurity content and high hardness. They mainly appear on the market in the form of thick-walled tubes such as processing handicrafts and threaded products;
The copper content of red copper tubes is more than 99.9%. Its physical properties are mainly reflected in: high plasticity, good ductility, easy processing and molding, and good stability. It is a sustainable green building material.
Copper tube production process
There are three types of copper pipe production processes: upward process, extrusion process, and continuous casting and rolling process. Hongtai currently uses continuous casting and rolling production lines and processes with China's independent intellectual property rights, with advanced technology, high degree of automation and stable quality.
Applications of copper pipes
Copper pipes are used in many fields, mainly in the air-conditioning and refrigeration industry, medical oxygen systems, and tap water pipeline systems.
1 Air conditioning and refrigeration industry
Whether it is the manufacturing or installation process of air-conditioning equipment, copper pipes are one of the most commonly used raw materials. The use cost of copper pipes accounts for approximately one-third of the production costs of air-conditioning equipment, and accounts for 10% of the material costs in the installation process of central air-conditioning. 70%. The quality of air conditioning equipment is inseparable from the copper pipes used in its production and installation.
2 Medical oxygen system
The medical oxygen system is the central oxygen supply system of the hospital. The gas transported by medical gas pipelines often acts directly on patients. Therefore, the requirements for cleanliness and toxic residues are very strict, and the pipes used must be degreased and cleaned in strict accordance with regulations. Skimmed copper pipes have good physical properties and are easy to connect, which can effectively save material costs. Moreover, skimmed copper pipes are inert metal materials that are resistant to oxidation and corrosion. Their service life is even the same as that of the building. They are ideal pipes for medical gas systems.
3 tap water system
As people's requirements for the quality of domestic water continue to increase, copper copper water pipes have slowly entered people's lives. Copper copper water pipes have generally recognized antibacterial capabilities and excellent durability. They have always been recommended by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development as high-quality domestic water pipes.
