What is C11600 copper steel pipe?

Date:2025-03-10

C11600 is a phosphorus-deoxidized copper alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability, and high thermal and electrical conductivity. It is not a "copper steel" pipe but rather a copper alloy pipe that is commonly used in plumbing, heat exchangers, and industrial applications.

Key Characteristics of C11600 Copper Pipe

Phosphorus-Deoxidized (DHP Copper): Contains 0.015%–0.040% phosphorus, which removes oxygen and improves welding and brazing capabilities.

 

Good Corrosion Resistance: Performs well in water systems, industrial fluids, and mild atmospheric conditions.

 

High Thermal and Electrical Conductivity: Slightly lower than pure copper (C11000), but still excellent for heat exchangers and electrical applications.

 

No Hydrogen Embrittlement: Unlike oxygen-bearing coppers, C11600 does not become brittle in reducing environments, making it suitable for brazing applications.

 

Excellent Formability and Ductility: Easily shaped, bent, and fabricated, which makes it ideal for HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing.

 

Chemical Composition

Copper (Cu): 99.9% min

Phosphorus (P): 0.015%–0.040%

Other Impurities:≤0.05%

 

Common Applications of C11600 Copper Pipe

Plumbing & Water Distribution: Used in potable and industrial water systems.

 

HVAC & Refrigeration: Ideal for heat exchanger tubes, air conditioning, and cooling systems.

 

Heat Exchangers & Boilers: Withstands high temperatures and pressure variations.

 

Gas and Chemical Transmission: Resistant to corrosion in industrial applications.

 

Solar Heating Systems: Used in solar thermal collectors due to high thermal efficiency.
