Mining and general information about copper
Copper mining
Mankind has been using copper for forty centuries. This metal was one of the first mastered by people. The annual production of copper in the world is measured in millions of tons. The top ten countries in terms of production include the countries of Central America, Australia, Chile, Canada, and China.
Application
Due to such qualities as corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, seamless copper pipes of round sections are indispensable for heating, air conditioning, refrigeration circuits, internal gas and water supply of country cottages. Copper alloys are the main materials for internal wiring of gas pipes in countries such as Australia, Great Britain, France. And Hong Kong, Sweden, Great Britain, the USA use copper alloys as the main materials for water supply, and Sweden and Great Britain — for steam heating pipes. In certain areas, this metal is an almost indispensable material. For example, for explosive and flammable production, it is ideal, because not only does it not create sparks, but also has excellent characteristics in wear resistance.

General information about copper
The main advantage of copper is its exceptional resistance to corrosion, including soil corrosion. It is distinguished by high ductility, corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity. It is easy to weld and solder. It complies with strict hygiene standards. Copper pipes are characterized by such properties as durability, the ability to withstand a significant temperature difference, pressure and adverse weather conditions. There are no colonies of fungi and bacteria on their inner surfaces, copper pipes do not react with chlorinated water, they have very low specific resistances (less than only silver pipes). Copper pipes are relatively cheap and very technologically advanced. They are easy to cut, drill, stamp, easy to install — all this makes such pipes extremely beneficial for use. They operate over a wide temperature range. Excellent performance characteristics make copper pipe in demand in a wide variety of industries.
