Created a copper pipe in the middle of the nineteenth century. Their durability and allocates huge operational period (more than fifty years).
Under good conditions of service, they can reach up to one hundred years. Copper tubes are very easy to install, since they can be cut and bend without any effort and professional equipment. Also, their advantages include stability to oxidation and bactericidal.
Yet there are no complications during defrost the pipe. They have a very interesting property: chlorinated water entering the pipe, forming the walls of tubes protective layer.
Use copper pipes for pipeline installation, plumbing, sanitary various communications, as well as the installation of air conditioning and heating systems.
The pipes are made of different sections: rectangular, square. Their walls can be of different thickness. They may be capillary and copper-nickel. All kinds of them are made by pressing and cold rolling.
During the installation of plumbing is copper round tube with thick walls. Between the pipes are connected by soldering, and fittings. The disadvantages of copper pipes can be considered as the need for mandatory use of filters for mechanical treatment and regular monitoring of its rigidity.
To install air conditioners usually use square and rectangular copper pipe. Quite often they are combined with insulating plastic or rubber material so that the inside pressure of the refrigerant passes. Also, these special tubes equipped with shields that prevent the penetration of dust and dirt.
For heating systems use pipes made of phosphorus deoxidized with. Their thickness is generally one millimeter, but sometimes use both thin and thick-walled pipes.
Copper capillary tubes are used in apparatus and instrumentation. For example, they are quite common in all sorts of devices freezer display cases.
In addition to easy installation, high resistance to rust, and relative resistance to sudden temperature copper pipes are resistant to UV and high working pressure, compared to other pipes. They also have excellent air-tightness and thermal conductivity.
