Copper Pipes

Copper pipes have been used in plumbing systems for centuries due to their durability, reliability, and resistance to corrosion. But have you ever wondered what makes copper pipes so special? The chemical composition of copper, specifically its high conductivity and resistance to corrosion, makes it an ideal material for plumbing systems. Copper pipes typically comprise 99.9% pure copper, with trace amounts of arsenic and phosphorus to improve the material's strength and stability. This combination of elements creates a strong and durable pipe that withstands the test of time. So the next time you turn on your faucet or take a shower, take a moment to appreciate the chemical properties that make copper pipes an integral part of our modern plumbing systems.

Copper pipes have been a popular choice for plumbing systems for many years. They are highly durable and corrosion-resistant, ideal for carrying water and gas. In addition to their strength and durability, copper pipes have exceptional thermal conductivity, making them a great option for heating and cooling systems. Copper Pipe is also malleable, allowing them to be easily bent and shaped to fit your unique plumbing needs. Another valuable property of copper pipes is their resistance to high temperatures, making them safe and efficient for hot water supply lines. These pipes have a variety of uses, from carrying water supply to gas, and are a reliable and trusted option in the plumbing industry.

FAQ's for Copper Pipes

Copper pipes are classified under HSN code 7407 10 00, which includes all refined copper and copper alloy products known as extrusion profiles that do not fit any of the other categories.

Copper pipes are available in a range of sizes, from 1/4" up to 8", with other sizes available on an order basis. The most common copper pipe sizes for plumbing systems are ½”, ¾” and 1”. Copper pipes may also be supplied in imperial or metric measurements.

Joining copper pipes can be done with soldering, compression fittings, flare fitting or push-fit connections. Soldering involves melting solder into the joint to form a strong seal. Compression fittings involve using a nut and ferrule over a prepared end of the pipe. Flare fitting requires flaring one end of the pipe before insertion into another piece of pipe with a matching flare. Push-fit connections involve pushing one pre-prepared copper tubing into another fitting that has barbs to hold it in place without additional sealing.

Copper pipes can be joined using welding processes such as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). GMAW requires a non-oxidizing filler metal with good cleanliness and free of surface coatings. SMAW is preferred for thinner-walled copper pipes, requiring the correct electrode to be chosen based on the size and grade of the pipe. GTAW is suitable for in tight spaces due to its ability to produce high-quality welds with minimal material distortion.

Copper pipes are used in refrigerant lines due to their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, malleability for complex shapes, and easy joinability for sealed joints.

Copper pipe is a tube made of a ductile metal material, primarily composed of copper. It can be used in various applications including plumbing, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems, among others. Copper pipes are known for their durability and long-lasting performance as well as their resistance to corrosion.
