PVC Coated Copper Pipes & Tubes Manufacturer and Exporter in UK :- Types
The various types of our PVC Coated Copper Pipes are developed according to different applications for the best performance. These pipes are available in two primary variants, each tailored to specific uses: Soft PVC Coated Copper Pipes that are suitable during installation exercises and the Hard PVC Coated Copper Pipes for hard usage.
Soft PVC Coated Copper Pipe
Soft PVC Coated Copper Pipes are used for installations where flexibility is needed and therefore they can be easily installed. The outer layer of soft PVC gives good anti-corrosive properties to resist the pipe substance while making the pipes flexible to bend or turn. They are most commonly used in systems in residential property, heating/cooling systems as well as installations which require flexibility in piping. As lightweight pieces of equipment they are also easy to transport and handle.
Hard PVC Coated Copper Pipe
Hard PVC Coated Copper Pipes designed for high tensile strength applications and are ideal for industrial and comercial use. Following are the detailed key features of this PVC: The external layer of this PVC is hard which enhances mechanical and chemical resistance which includes UV and chemical resistance. These pipes are used for oil and gas transmission, low and high temperature applications such as refrigeration applications and heavy duty HVAC applications that would give long lasting pipe life and require little or no maintenance.
PVC Coated Copper Pipes in UK :- Properties
PVC Coated Copper Pipes are pipes that combine natural properties of copper alloy with the protective capabilities of PVC coating. This integration guarantees high performance and therefore are suitable for the tough weather and industrial conditions in the United Kingdom. When it comes to corrosion, thermal, acoustic or any other form of efficiency, these pipes are designed for use in various applications and respects to their reliability.
Durability : Copper and PVC as materials guarantee long service life, as they cannot easily wear out under conditions of high mechanical and thermal load. These characteristics make the pipes resilient especially for use in the industrial and residential facilities.
Corrosion Resistance : PVC coating also helps to protect the pipe from corrosion as a result of moisture, chemical and even the climate. This also reduces the life span of the pipes even in the coastal areas’ or the humid regions.
Flexibility : Soft PVC coated types are easy to bend by creating a contour for installation and thus saves a lot of man hours and resources. This feature is most effective for tight or complex environments.
Thermal Conductivity : From thermal conductivity, copper plays its role in heat transfer maximization, while the PVC layer slows heat transfer to minimize performance losses in HVAC and refrigeration systems.
UV Resistance : The pipes are coated with hard PVC that obscures the pipes from UV rays thereby preventing the pipes from degrading when used outdoors.
Impact Resistance : The outer layer made of rigid PVC also cushions the product against mechanical stress during it’s transportation and installation.
PVC Coated Copper Pipes Specification, Sizes, Grades :
PVC Coated Copper Pipes come in a variety of pipe sizes, weigh and dimensions which permit different application connections. This variation makes it possible for it to fit in various systems, right from the residential level to the industrial category of plumbing systems. They have been found to be available in custom lengths and diameters which make it easy to order and install standards basing on your requirements thereby cutting on costs in wastage.
