Copper Tubes & Pipes

The Copper tubes that we manufacture are extensively used in Air conditioning systems. The use of copper in air-conditioning and refrigeration systems has grown steadily in recent years. This is in large measure due to the inherent properties of the copper metals and their unique abilities to meet the needs of the ACR industry. Stringent new requirements, including demands for increased operating efficiency and the reduction or elimination of harmful emissions, have led to a new appreciation for copper's role in product enhancement.

Uses

• Copper tube used for gas, heater and hydraulic lines, oil burners, refrigerators, evaporators and heat exchangers.
• Hollow (round, square, rectangular and elliptical) electrical conductors in high voltage installation, induction furnaces etc.

The industrial copper tubes and copper pipes that we manufacture for the automobile industry has certain advantages over other metals. Copper had been proved since the early days to have many good attributes. It is easy to bend and has very high corrosion resistance.

Copper's inherent superiority in thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and strength has made it a preferred primary metal for radiators since the dawn of cars and trucks. Now, with new technologies, it can be used to make smaller, lighter and stronger copper radiators. These radiators will be far more environmentally friendly because they are lead free and easier and cleaner to produce.

Additional increased copper content results from a number of accessories being electric instead of hydraulic. Power steering and braking are achieved electrically. The efficiency and performance of these two technologies make them candidates for installation on internal combustion vehicles in the near future. Heating and air conditioning are also achieved electrically and in some cases with a heat pump.

Electric Vehicles and even hybrid Electric Vehicles will use approximately twice as much copper as a conventional vehicles and this will provide the added advantage of excellent recyclability when the vehicle is removed from service.

Copper Tube to BS EN 1057 - R250 (Previous Designation BS 2871: Part 1: Table X) Half Hard Straight. This products is supplied in 3 or 6 meter straight lengths in the half hard condition, an ideal temper for cold bending and forming. Mexflow Tubes can be easily bent on an appropriate bending machine for 6 to 22mm O.D. sizes, with a bending spring. Its ease of manipulating and relatively light weight, combine with its ability to withstand high internal pressure makes Mexflow the ideal products for most hot and cold water, central heating and gas services installations.

This is the general-purpose copper tube for above ground services. Ideal for Drinking Water, Central Heating, Sanitation, Hot and Cold Water, Industrial & Medical Gas Transportation, Various Engineering.

Also as per BS EN 1057-R220
(Previous Designation BS 2871: Part 1: Table Y) Supplied as either 6m long half-hard straight lengths, or annealed 25m or 23m long coils. With a wall thickness approximately 1.5 times thicker than "Mexflow", it is the ideal product for underground applications. The extra wall thickness also allows its use on certain pressurized stem installations with maximum working temperature of 65°C. These copper tubes are recommended for use on underground services and are also suitable for: Drinking Water, Central Heating, Sanitation, Gas, Various Engineering Applications.

Mexflow Copper Pipes are available with IBP Conex fittings for the complete Copper Plumbing solution.

We recommend our heat exchanger copper tube and condenser copper tube because copper's inherent superiority in thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and strength has made it a preferred primary metal for Heat exchangers(radiators) and condensers since the dawn of cars and trucks.

Now, with new technologies, our copper tube can be used to make smaller, lighter and stronger copper radiators. These radiators will be far more environmentally friendly because they are lead free and easier and cleaner to produce. Made with a non-toxic, low temperature allow based on the CuNiSnP system, they can be brazed in the same vacuum and controlled atmosphere furnaces used for aluminum radiators and at the same temperature (approx. 600°C). And since flux isn't present, cleaning after brazing isn't needed and no dangerous metals remain in the brazing material.

Our industrial copper tubes and copper pipes can be widely utilized in the design of seawater systems for their excellent resistance to corrosion and biofouling and many other excellent properties. Copper corrodes at negligible rates in unpolluted air, water, and deaerated nonoxidizing acids. Copper alloy artifacts have been found in nearly pristine condition after having been buried in the earth for thousands of years, and copper roofing in rural atmospheres has been found to corrode at rates of less than 0.4 mm in 200 years.

Copper alloys resist many saline solutions, alkaline solutions, and organic chemicals. However, copper is susceptible to more rapid attack in oxidizing acids, oxidizing heavy-metal salts, sulfur, ammonia (NH3), and some sulfur and NH3 compounds.

Copper is widely used in applications like freshwater and seawater supply lines, heat exchangers, condensers, shafting, valve stems, and marine hardware - in which resistance to seawater, hydrated salt deposits, and biofouling from marine organisms is important.

Copper Tubes, manufactured by us, can also be used for general engineering. In residential buildings and small one- and two-story commercial buildings, the drainage piping is usually straightforward in design and simple in installation. Type DWV copper tube, installed with good workmanship by an experienced plumber, will provide many years of trouble-free service.

Copper DWV tube has been used successfully for years in all parts of drainage plumbing systems for high-rise buildings-for soil and vent stacks and for soil, waste and vent branches. Copper tube's lightweight and the ease with which it can be prefabricated have been especially important in high-rise drainage systems.
