Copper pipe - a good helper in the field of modern architecture!

High-performance copper tubes contribute to epidemic prevention and control

During the epidemic prevention and control, in addition to the tension of personnel and protective supplies, another prominent problem at the front line of the epidemic fight is the supply of oxygen. Serious patients need 100% oxygen, and the oxygen demand of very critical patients is more than 10 times that of serious patients. As the carrier of oxygen and other gas transmission in hospitals, medical gas copper piping is of great concern in the current epidemic prevention and control.

Medical gas piping system is one of the important components in the hardware of medical facilities, and quality tubing that meets hygienic requirements is an effective guarantee for hospitals to carry out resuscitation, treatment and testing.

In order to avoid changes in the quality of medical gases caused by leakage and pollution in the process of transporting medical gases from the gas source to the terminal, gas piping should have good cleanliness, corrosion resistance and airtightness.

In addition to bearing certain pressure, it also has the characteristics of many systems, many branch pipes, many types of media, complex media characteristics and many varieties of pipes.

Medical gas piping is different from common public piping in civil buildings because of the safety and sanitary requirements of transmission, as well as the special characteristics and importance of its transmission medium.

Once an accident occurs in medical piping, it will not only pose a serious threat to the safety of patient treatment and surgery, but also cause harm to others. Therefore, the use of safe and high-quality pipes and reasonable construction connections can improve the safety and stability of medical gas systems and reduce the chances of accidents.

Medical gas pipelines often transport gases directly to patients, so the requirements for cleanliness and toxic residues are very demanding, and the tubing used must be degreased and cleaned in strict accordance with regulations. Due to the high cost of the degreasing process, the price of medical copper pipe is slightly higher than that of ordinary copper pipe.

Hospitals are public buildings with complex functions and many supporting auxiliary facilities. In addition to medical gas piping, there are also a large number of pipelines in the corridor ceiling. When choosing medical gas pipes, it is necessary to consider the bending factor at the connection of pipes and fittings. Copper pipe is flexible and adaptable, which can make up for the shortage in construction.

In addition, the incombustibility of copper pipes can play a good flame retardant effect. Due to the dense internal structure, copper pipes also have excellent leak-proof and impermeable properties.

Second, copper pipe provides support for the goal of green building

Green building technology focuses on low consumption, high efficiency, economy, environmental protection, integration and optimization, and interior design requires the use of synthetic materials as little as possible to save energy. Green building has become a global trend and standard for architectural design.

In economically developed countries and regions, copper pipe is the preferred material for building water supply pipes. The United States, Canada, Australia and other countries, 85% of the building water supply pipe is copper, the United Kingdom even reached 95%. In Southeast Asia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and other regions, the use rate of copper pipes as building water pipes is also as high as 75%.

Biological research shows that E. coli in water supply can no longer reproduce in copper pipes, and more than 99% of bacteria in water are completely killed after 5 hours of entering copper pipes. Copper pipe press fittings are extremely dense in structure and impermeable. Neither grease, nor bacteria, nor viruses, nor harmful substances such as oxygen and ultraviolet light can pass through it and contaminate the water.

In contrast, copper pipe, like pre soldered copper pipe fittings, combines many advantages, and gradually becomes the pipe of choice for many major buildings, as well as the pipe for direct drinking water management want. Copper is also an important component of proteins and enzymes in the body, and is vital to the metabolic processes of the body. As a trace element in the human body, the intake of the right amount of copper from the drinking water conveyed by copper pipes also contributes to human health.

Copper water pipes are excellent pipes for supplying hot water because of their low coefficient of expansion at high temperatures and high strength at low temperatures, which can withstand extremely hot and cold temperatures. Due to its smooth inner wall, it has low friction, high flow rate, no noise and outstanding pressure resistance as a water pipe, which can significantly reduce the water leakage rate and make the pipe connection tighter and safer.

Copper pipes can be 100% recycled, with high regeneration value, and will not pollute the environment like plastic pipes that end up as white waste that is difficult to decompose. Although copper water pipes are more expensive than ordinary plastic water pipes and stainless steel water pipes, the service life of copper pipes is extremely long, and copper pipes can ensure that they do not need to be repaired and replaced during use.
