2026-06-19

 Types of copper pipes

 Copper pipes are classified according to their composition and manufacturing process. Below are some of the most common types of copper pipes provided by Shandong Baimaoxing Steel Co., Ltd.:

  1. Pure Copper Pipes:Pure copper pipes are renowned for their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, making them an ideal choice for piping and HVAC applications.
  2. T2 Copper Tube:This type of copper tube is characterized by its high purity and excellent electrical conductivity, making it commonly used in electrical applications.
  3. TU1 Oxygen-Free Copper Tubes:TU1 copper tubes are manufactured without the use of oxygen, resulting in extremely high corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. They are commonly used in high-end electrical and electronic applications.
  4. TU2 Deoxidized Copper Pipe:Similar to TU1, TU2 pipes undergo deoxidation treatment to improve their durability and performance, making them suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
  5. T1 Copper Pipe: T1 copper pipe is renowned for its excellent mechanical properties and is commonly used in water supply, drainage, and heating systems.
  6. TP2Phosphorus Deoxidized Copper Pipes: These pipes are phosphorus-treated, which improves their corrosion resistance, making them ideal for use in harsh environments.
  7. C11000 Copper Tube:This alloy is widely used in electrical applications due to its high electrical conductivity and excellent machinability.
  8. C10200 Oxygen-Free Copper Tube: C10200 copper tubes are known for their high purity and are often used in applications requiring excellent electrical performance.
