SHOUCAN’s production line combines automated extrusion with precision CNC machining to achieve tight tolerances on every tube. The extrusion process creates a uniform wall thickness, while subsequent annealing relieves internal stresses, resulting in a material that is both flexible and strong. After machining, each batch undergoes ultrasonic cleaning to remove surface contaminants, followed by a protective passivation layer that enhances corrosion resistance without affecting conductivity. Final inspection includes laser measurement of outer and inner diameters, tensile testing to verify minimum yield strength, and hydrostatic pressure testing to confirm leak‑free performance. All these steps are documented in a traceable quality report that accompanies each shipment, giving customers confidence in the consistency of the product.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with standard fittings, the SHOUCAN copper tube works with compression, flare, and soldered connections commonly used in refrigeration and HVAC systems. The tube’s dimensions comply with ASME B16.9 and DIN 2448 standards, ensuring that off‑the‑shelf accessories such as elbows, tees, and caps fit without modification.

Usage

In commercial refrigeration, the SHOUCAN copper tubing forms the core of the evaporator coil, where refrigerant absorbs heat from the interior of display cases and walk‑in units. The high thermal conductivity of copper accelerates heat exchange, allowing the system to achieve rapid cooling cycles and maintain precise temperature set points. Installers appreciate the tube’s ability to be bent into tight radii, enabling compact coil designs that fit within limited cabinet spaces without sacrificing performance.

In HVAC installations, the same OD 10mm copper tube is frequently used as the conduit for chilled water or hot water distribution. Its durability ensures long‑term operation under cyclic pressure changes, while the smooth interior surface minimizes fouling and scale buildup, reducing maintenance intervals. The variety of ID options allows engineers to size the pipe for specific flow rates, balancing hydraulic efficiency with space constraints in ductwork and pipe trays.

For DIY enthusiasts and small‑scale projects, the tube’s easy bendability makes it ideal for crafting custom heat exchangers, artistic sculptures, or prototype fluid circuits. Because the material can be soldered with standard copper‑solder techniques, hobbyists can create reliable joints without specialized equipment. The tube’s aesthetic appeal, with its bright reddish‑orange hue, also adds visual interest to decorative installations, while its functional properties remain unchanged.

In large‑scale industrial refrigeration plants, the SHOUCAN copper tubing is often employed in cascade refrigeration cycles where multiple temperature stages are required. The tube’s ability to maintain consistent inner diameter under high pressure ensures uniform refrigerant distribution across extensive coil networks. This uniformity reduces the risk of hot spots that can compromise product quality in food‑processing facilities. Moreover, the tube’s resistance to oil contamination helps preserve the efficiency of oil‑lubricated compressors, extending their service intervals.

In automotive air‑conditioning systems, space constraints demand compact tubing that can still deliver the required heat exchange. The 10 mm outer diameter of SHOUCAN copper tube fits within tight engine bays while providing sufficient flow capacity for the refrigerant. Its excellent bendability allows manufacturers to route the tube through complex chassis geometries without compromising structural integrity. Additionally, the copper’s high thermal conductivity improves the condenser’s ability to reject heat, contributing to faster cabin cooling and better overall vehicle efficiency.

In marine refrigeration and air‑conditioning units, resistance to salt‑water corrosion is critical. The copper alloy used by SHOUCAN forms a protective oxide layer that shields the tube from aggressive chloride environments, extending service life on ships and offshore platforms.
