Copper pipes for heating : the benefits and installation

Copper: why is it so popular in the manufacture of pipes?

It would seem that so many materials that are used for the manufacture of tubes, but copper is considered almost the best.Why?The answer to this question can be analysis of its unique properties.The fact that the metal has a large number of positive characteristics.We describe only some of them.

• Copper is the most safe and completely harmless material.No other metal it does not exceed it.It is because it is still in ancient times did the dishes, and the pipe and vodonakopiteli manufactured today.Moreover, it also has bactericidal properties.
• Long service.Materials made of this metal, do not spoil and do not age with time.Copper water pipes are just as much as the building itself is operated.
• Efficiency in the use of .When installing the copper material more economical than other analog products.Pipe connection made by soldering with solder and silver-using capillary fittings.
• has high operational performance : corrosion resistance, UV-resistance, operating temperature range is from - 200 to + 500 ° C (water they do not freeze), impermeability to gases.This copper tubes for water and heating retain their original appearance.

Scope copper pipes

Due to the above characteristics of the material, it is widely used in various fields.Firstly, seamless pipe copper is well suited for the transmission of gases and liquids in heating systems, gas supply, water supply.Also used in air conditioning systems (eg, refrigeration units).The most widely used copper pipes for water received in Europe, the United States.

In Russia, their production is carried out in accordance with GOST R 52318-2005.

Second, the pipeline of copper pipes used in the energy and shipbuilding for the transmission of steam and various liquids.Third, this material is often used as a substrate in the manufacture of parts in the machine-building and metal-working industry.

few words about the installation

mounting copper pipes heating is quick and easy.The fact that this material is indeed easily bent and cut.Mounting Method - welding copper pipes - high temperature capillary soldering.This product can be used only with marking EN 1057, which confirms that the copper pipe is made to the water at the appropriate standard DIN.

Attention!If you do not see this marking (EN 1057), the material can not buy!It will simply not suitable.

During installation use the fittings and silver and bronze brazing.When this gas is used a special post-propane oxygen preheating pipe.It has a compact size, because easily transferred by industrial facilities.For further bend pipe bender is used.If the soft tube (e.g., coils), they can be bent without it.
