FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is the difference between copper pipe and copper tube ?
The main difference between copper pipe and copper tube is how they are measured. Copper pipes are measured by their nominal inside diameter (ID) and are primarily used for plumbing, while copper tubes are measured by their actual outside diameter (OD) and are commonly used in HVAC, refrigeration, medical gas pipeline systems, and precision engineering applications.
What is medical copper used for ?
Medical copper is used in medical gas pipeline systems (MGPS) to safely transport gases such as oxygen, medical air, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and vacuum throughout hospitals and healthcare facilities. These copper pipes are specially cleaned, degreased, and manufactured to stringent medical standards to ensure contamination-free, reliable, and safe gas delivery.
