Copper tubes have high resistance against corrosion. These tubes have excellent electrical and heat conductivity and good welding ability. They are applied for two main purposes: electrical and heat transfer.
These tubes are used for transferring heat between two fluids in sanitary, home and industrial systems and they are applied in water heaters and air conditioning systems (home and industrial) such as gas coolers and packages. They are used for making cable show and electrical devices due to excellent electrical conductivity and formability. Hence choosing an appropriate copper tube can not only facilitate the electricity, but also save energy. Copper tubes are also used in medical gasification of hospitals and laboratories.
Copper tubes are made according to market demand in three types of TPC, DLP and DHP alloys.
Copper tubes are manufactured according to various standards such as America & Europe Standards according to their application in different forms such as Straight tube, pancake coil, Level Wound Coil (LWC) and capillary.
1.There are many other copper and copper alloy tubes and pipes available for specialized applications.
2. Tube made to other ASTM standards is also intended for plumbing applications, although ASTM B88 is by far the most widely used. ASTM Standard Classification B 698 lists six plumbing tube standards including B 88.
