1. The copper pipe is durable
The chemical properties of copper are stable, and it combines cold resistance, heat resistance, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and fire resistance (the melting point of copper is as high as 1083 degrees Celsius), which can be used for a long time in different environments. Copper pipes can last as long as a building, or even longer.
2. The copper tube is safe and reliable
Copper pipes combine the advantages of metal pipes and non-metal pipes. It is harder than plastic pipe and has the high strength of ordinary metal (the strength of cold drawn copper pipe is comparable to that of steel pipe of the same wall thickness). It is easier to bend than ordinary metals, has good toughness and high ductility, and has excellent vibration resistance, impact resistance and frost heave resistance.
The copper tube can withstand extremely cold and extremely hot temperatures, with a wide range of application from -196 degrees to 250 degrees, and adapt to drastic changes in temperature (one high temperature, one low temperature, one high temperature), and its performance will not be affected by long-term use and drastic changes in temperature. And lower, there will be no aging phenomenon. This is beyond the reach of ordinary pipes.
The linear expansion coefficient of the copper pipe is very small, which is 1/10 of that of the plastic pipe, and it can resist fatigue. Excessive thermal expansion and contraction will not result in stress fatigue cracking during temperature changes.
3. Copper pipe health
Plastics contain chemical additives such as "plasticizers" that escape over time and temperature, resulting in hardening and embrittlement of the plastic. Copper pipes do not have various modifiers, additives, additives and other chemical components of plastic pipes.
Biological studies have shown that Escherichia coli in the water supply can no longer reproduce in copper pipes; more than 99% of the bacteria in the water are completely killed after entering the copper pipes for 5 hours.
The copper tube structure is extremely dense and impermeable. Harmful substances such as oil, bacteria, viruses, oxygen and ultraviolet rays cannot pass through it and pollute the water.
In addition, copper pipes do not contain chemical additives, and they will not burn and release toxic gases to suffocate people. The recycling of copper is conducive to environmental protection and is a green building material for sustainable development.
4. Strong connection of copper pipes
There are many kinds of pipes on the market, but most of the interface fittings are made of copper. Even if some pipe parts can not use copper fittings, it still needs a copper fitting at the interface with the faucet. However, if the copper pipe fittings are connected with other pipes, due to the different materials of the pipes and fittings, the physical and mechanical properties during thermal expansion and contraction are very different, and the firmness of the connection will naturally be subject to additional challenges. Therefore, when the copper pipe is connected with the copper fittings, the firmness will be greatly enhanced.
5. Good for health
Copper water pipes are good for health, and copper water pipes save water, prevent pollution and sterilize. When choosing or renovating a home, few people bother with the water pipes of a home. In fact, the material of water supply pipes will greatly affect people's health.
