Copper Tubing Straightener And End Forming

Copper tubing is a versatile tubing which has many uses. One of the main uses is in plumbing for supplying hot and cold water.  Also, Copper tubing is used with gas lines as well. These are just a few examples of how it used, but copper tubing is also a huge part of HVAC systems. The most common type of this tubing is soft copper and rigid copper.  Soft copper is also known as ductile, it easy to move and bend and is best for flare connections.

Rigid copper is usually used for water lines. As you may have guessed, rigid copper cannot be bent and uses elbow fittings to position around corners. Out of the two types, the soft copper is usually used in HVAC systems.  To straighten the copper tubing you need a tube straightener to do that and that is where Tridan comes in!

Copper Tubing is an integral part to any HVAC system. The primary use of copper tubing is to transport water either hot or cold inside buildings and homes. One of the other primary uses of copper tubing is for air-conditioning and refrigeration systems.  Copper tubing is a great choice for an air-conditioning unit, because it is resistant to corrosion, machinability, great heat transfer, and also consumption of less refrigerant.

Reasons To Choose Copper Tube Over Aluminum

At one point aluminum was used over copper in air-conditioning units. In addition to being less expensive, aluminum also has high transfer properties. But the downside of the aluminum choice was the high maintenance costs. Aluminum is very hard to repair and most of the time needs to be totally replaced. Copper tube, on the other hand, is 8 times more durable than aluminum. With the best part being it is also a high thermal conductor.

Copper tube has pretty much-replaced aluminum in almost all condenser coils. The copper tubing has proved to be a much better option over its aluminum counterpart. Copper has superior strength, reliability, excellent heat transfer, and ease of repair all better than aluminum.
