Copper Tubing
Copper tubing is a durable, corrosion-resistant, and thermally conductive tube widely used in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial fluid transfer.
It is valued for long service life, ease of installation, and excellent heat transfer properties, making it ideal for both residential and industrial systems.
Material Properties
-
Material: Copper (typically C12200 – phosphorus-deoxidized, high residual phosphorus, seamless copper)
-
Finish: Plain, cleaned, polished, or coated (PVC/PE coating optional for protection)
-
Corrosion Resistance: Excellent in water, non-oxidizing acids, and neutral salt solutions
-
Thermal Conductivity: Very high, enabling efficient heat exchange
-
Formability: Easily bent and flared without cracking
Typical Specifications
-
Outer Diameter (OD): 4 mm to 108 mm (1/8" to 4") standard
-
Wall Thickness: 0.4 mm to 3 mm (varies by type and application)
-
Standards: ASTM B88, ASTM B280, EN 1057, JIS H3300
-
Forms: Straight lengths (3 m or 6 m) or coils (15 m, 30 m, 50 m, or custom)
-
Pressure Ratings: Vary based on type (Type K, L, M, or refrigeration grade)
-
Temperature Range: –196 °C to +250 °C
Applications
-
Plumbing & Water Supply – potable water distribution, hot/cold water lines
-
HVAC & Refrigeration – air conditioning lines, refrigerant piping
-
Industrial – chemical transfer lines, hydraulic control lines
-
Gas Distribution – LPG and natural gas piping (with appropriate standards)
-
Heat Exchange Systems – condensers, evaporators, and solar water heaters
-
Medical Gas Lines – oxygen, nitrous oxide, and other hospital gas supply
Advantages
-
Long-lasting & corrosion-resistant in water service
-
Excellent heat transfer for HVAC and refrigeration
-
Easy installation – can be bent, flared, and joined with soldering or compression fittings
-
Hygienic – does not release harmful substances into drinking water
-
Recyclable – environmentally friendly material
