Unique Features:

ASTM B88 Copper Pipe is renowned for its high-purity composition, which ensures excellent resistance to corrosion in both water and gas systems. The copper (C12200) used in this pipe has a minimum purity of 99.9%, making it ideal for use in potable water systems, HVAC systems, and even gas lines. It offers outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity, allowing it to efficiently transport heat or electricity. Additionally, its low oxygen content (0.02% max) enhances its long-term durability and prevents the formation of oxide layers that could otherwise affect its performance. Its excellent flexibility and malleability make it easy to work with and install, even in tight spaces or intricate systems.

Applications:

• Plumbing Systems: ASTM B88 Copper Pipe is commonly used for water distribution and supply lines in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems. Its resistance to corrosion and long lifespan make it a popular choice for potable water systems.
• HVAC Systems: The pipe is also used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, where its high thermal conductivity ensures effective heat exchange and energy transfer.
• Refrigeration Systems: In refrigeration systems, ASTM B88 Copper Pipe facilitates efficient heat transfer, ensuring the proper functioning of cooling and refrigeration equipment.
• Gas Lines: The copper pipe is suitable for use in gas distribution systems due to its resistance to corrosion, high tensile strength, and durability in harsh conditions.
• Fire Sprinkler Systems: Due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and pressure, ASTM B88 Copper Pipe is used in fire suppression systems.
