copper pipe

Copper pipe is one of the most widely used equipment’s used in equipping facilities and various industries. Copper alloy is used in these products to have proper conductivity, so that in addition to transferring heat and electricity, it has high formability properties. One of the most important uses of copper pipes can be mentioned in fuel transmission lines, ventilation system and cooling and heating devices.

 

What is a copper pipe and what is its use?

The copper pipe is a long section with a circular cross-section and a hollow core. Pipes in all types can be considered a subset of pipes. In Latin, this pipe is known as copper pipe. Types of standard copper pipes used in building plumbing. Copper pipes are usually used in building facilities for water transmission lines and in heating and cooling systems. Copper alloy with its high resistance and good conductivity has many uses in various industries, among the most important of which the following can be mentioned:

• Consumption in medical gas
• Transfer of heavy fluids
• Domestic water transfer system
• Cooling and heating ventilation
• Fire sprinklers

 

Types of copper pipes based on application

Today, the diversity in the production and type of alloy of copper pipes has caused them to be marketed in the form of different types, of which we will mention a few of them below.

• Copper pipe coil Copper coil pipes or so-called copper coil is a continuous length of pipe that is wrapped in compact layers. This pipe product has significant resistance to oxidation and corrosion and today it is used in various heating, cooling and air conditioning industries. The advantages of using copper coils include high heating rate, easy installation and uniform temperature transfer in its body.
• Branched copper pipe The branched copper pipe is made of hard copper and is generally used in cooling systems such as refrigerators and air conditioning facilities, as well as in heating systems. These pipes cannot be easily bent and it is better to use copper welding wire with high percentage of silver to weld them.
• Coiled copper pipe the coiled copper pipe is usually supplied in an annealed form and due to its high strength and suitable bending properties, it is used in piping systems, gas transmission lines, ventilation systems and refrigeration pipes. It should be noted that the coiled copper pipe is difficult to return to its original state after bending. For this reason, it is better to use high percentage silver welding wire for its welding.
• Capillary copper pipe Capillary copper pipes are most commonly used in cooling devices such as home and store refrigerators and air conditioners, and usually their 0.5 diameter is something around 0.5 to 2 mm. These products are used throughout the refrigeration and air conditioning industry, the most common of which are gas coolers and refrigerators.

 

Classification of copper pipes according to wall thickness

Based on the type of wall thickness, copper pipes are divided into three types, L, K and M, in which the wall thickness is different. But usually, the thickness of their outer wall is similar to each other.

• M type copper pipe                                                                           the lowest thickness among these three categories belongs to type M. They are most commonly used in domestic water systems and vacuum systems. Compression or soldering joints can be used to connect them. The reason for their use in domestic water piping service is their reasonable cost. The thinner the pipe wall, the lower the price.
• L type copper pipe                                                    Indoor plumbing, fire protection and HVAC applications are among the most important uses of them. They are usually rigid and flexible. Compression, soldering and welding can be used to connect them. Due to their uses and features, they are common types of copper pipes. Although the resistance of rigid pipes is higher, the soft and flexible type is used for old water lines. In addition to inside the house, they can also be used outside the house.
• K type Copper pipe K type copper pipe is the thickest type of these pipes. They are used in water transfer, oil spill, fire protection and HVAC and other industries. Welding and compression are used to connect them. Type K pipes are rigid, which makes them suitable for underground water lines and connections. Due to their vulnerability to gas, they are not suitable for natural gas transmission lines.

 

Weight of copper pipe

The weight of the copper pipe is different according to the size, diameter and overall dimensions of the copper pipe, and finally the final price of our desired product is determined based on that.

Advantages of using copper pipes

1. Long life without maintenance
2. Corrosion resistance
3. Ease of installation and operation
4. The possibility of buying in different dimensions
5. High thermal conductivity
6. Strong thermal conductivity

 

Important points when buying copper pipe

• When buying, make sure that the packaging of the pipes is clean and complete.
• Be sure to check the pipes so that they do not have scratches or holes.
• If you intend to prepare a pipe for your fireplace, be sure to check the diameter and dimensions of the special pipe for it.
• To connect these pipes, use parts such as copper elbow, copper conversion, copper bushing, copper U, copper tee and copper compression in different sizes.
• When buying, try to choose the best type of pipe depending on your use, taking into account the opinion of the relevant expert and design engineer.

 

Conclusion

Copper pipes are one of the most widely used energy transmission tools in various industries, which are used in equipping projects such as air conditioning and water supply in various facilities due to their properties such as conductivity and formability. In the above article, we mentioned several types of these pipes and their applications in the industry.
