GENERAL PURPOSE COPPER TUBES
GENERAL APPLICATIONS FOR COPPER TUBES
Cold
drawn seamless copper tube that has excellent corrosion
resistance, electrical conductivity and ductile properties is
produced in a wide range of forms, including round,
rectangular, elliptical and square with a round bore as
depicted in photographs below; these shapes can be produced in
phosphorous deoxidized non arsenical copper C106 or high
conductivity copper, either C101 grade would be preferred
where electrical conductivity is an important requirement and
copper C106 material for general engineering, heating,
plumbing and decorative applications. Copper tube can be
supplied in factory random lengths, cut to length, plated or
manipulated to specific requirements. Material specifications
from which Copper tubes are produced in the size range 1/8”
o.d. (3.0mm) to 3 ½” o.d. (90.0mm) in wall thickness
.010” (0.25mm) to 3/8" (10.0mm) is detailed in the table
below.
