Product type
Copper tubes are cylindrical pipes made from copper, known for their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. They are commonly produced through extrusion or drawing processes, resulting in various sizes and wall thicknesses. Copper tubes are typically used in plumbing, HVAC systems, and electrical applications due to their durability and resistance to corrosion.
| Material | Copper (C11000, C12200, etc.) |
| Standard sizes | Outer diameter from 1/8 inch to 12 inches |
| Wall thickness | 0.015 inch to 0.500 inch |
| Temper | Soft, half-hard, and hard |
| Length | Typically available in 20-foot and 12-foot lengths |
When purchasing copper tubes, buyers should consider the specific application requirements such as size, wall thickness, and temper. It is important to specify the grade of copper needed, as different grades offer varying levels of conductivity and corrosion resistance. Additionally, buyers should inquire about certifications and tolerances to ensure compliance with industry standards, as well as the quantity required for their projects.
