Copper tube is also called red copper tube. One kind of non-ferrous metal pipes are pressed and drawn seamless pipes. Copper pipes have the characteristics of good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, the main materials of conductive accessories and heat dissipation accessories of electronic products, and have become the first choice for modern contractors to install tap water pipes, heating and cooling pipes in all residential commercial houses. The copper pipe has strong corrosion resistance, is not easy to oxidize, and does not easily react with some liquid substances, and is easy to bend and shape.
The copper pipe is light in weight, good in thermal conductivity, and high in low temperature strength. Commonly used in the manufacture of heat exchange equipment (such as condensers, etc.). It is also used for assembling cryogenic pipelines in oxygen production equipment. Copper tubes with small diameters are often used to transport pressured liquids (such as lubrication systems, hydraulic systems, etc.) and pressure measuring tubes used as instruments.

1. Because copper pipes are easy to process and connect, they can save materials and total cost during installation, have good stability and reliability, and can save maintenance.
2. Copper is light. For twisted threaded tubes of the same inner diameter, copper tubes do not require the thickness of ferrous metals. When installed, the transportation cost of the copper pipe is smaller, the maintenance is easier, and the occupied space is smaller.
3. Copper can change its shape. Because the copper tube can be bent and deformed, it can often be made into elbows and joints. The smooth bending allows the copper tube to be bent at any angle.
4. Copper is easy to connect.
5. Copper is safe. No leakage, no combustion, no toxic gas, and corrosion resistance.
Copper pipes are resistant to high temperatures and can be used in a variety of environments. Compared with this, the shortcomings of many other pipe materials are obvious. For example, the galvanized steel pipes used in residential houses in the past are very susceptible to corrosion, and the problems such as yellowing of tap water and small water flow will occur after a short time. There are also some materials whose strength under high temperature will decrease rapidly, which will cause hidden dangers when used in hot water pipes. The melting point of copper is as high as 1083 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of the hot water system is negligible for copper pipes. Archaeologists discovered a copper water pipe 4500 years ago in the Egyptian pyramids, which can still be used today.
