C16200 copper tube is a high-performance copper alloy tube with chromium added mainly to enhance its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. It excels in highly corrosive environments, such as offshore engineering and chemical equipment, where it is able to effectively resist erosion from seawater, acidic media and other harsh conditions.
In addition, C16200 copper tube not only possesses high strength and hardness, but also retains the good thermal conductivity and workability of copper, which makes it ideal for the manufacture of high-efficiency heat exchangers and piping systems. It is widely used in shipbuilding, desalination, and as a critical component in the oil and gas industry.
