1. what is the ASTM grade of C12200 DHP Copper Alloy Tube?
ASTM Specification: ASTM B88 (Standard Specification for Seamless Copper Water Tube).
UNS Designation: C12200 (copper with ~0.04–0.30% phosphorus, deoxidized with phosphorus).
2. What are the mechanical properties of C12200 DHP Copper Alloy Tube?
3. What is the chemical composition of C12200 DHP Copper Alloy Tube?
4. What is the application of C12200 DHP Copper Alloy Tube?
Corrosion Resistance:
Plumbing systems (potable water, heating, and cooling lines).
Condensers, heat exchangers, and evaporators in HVAC systems.
Industrial piping for non-aggressive fluids (e.g., oils, gases).
Formability:
Tubing that requires bending, flaring, or joining (e.g., refrigeration lines).
Low Oxygen Content:
Applications where hydrogen embrittlement is a concern (e.g., welding or high-temperature service).
5. What are the advantages of C12200 DHP Copper Alloy Tube?
Excellent Corrosion Resistance:
Resistant to water, steam, and many non-acidic environments, making it ideal for plumbing and industrial fluids.
Deoxidized for Reliable Fabrication:
Phosphorus addition removes oxygen, preventing "hydrogen embrittlement" during welding or brazing (critical for tubing used in high-temperature or pressure applications).
Good Formability and Ductility:
Easily bent, flared, or swaged without cracking, suitable for complex piping layouts.
High Thermal Conductivity:
Moderate thermal conductivity (lower than pure copper but still useful for heat transfer in non-critical applications).
Biostatic Properties:
Natural resistance to microbial growth, making it suitable for potable water systems.
Longevity and Durability:
Resistant to biofouling and scaling, ensuring long service life in corrosive environments.
