CEDIC Copper Tubes and Fittings Product Leaflet

The document presents an overview of copper as a material for water, gas and heating installations, describing its physical characteristics such as density (8.92 kg/dm³), melting point (1083 °C) and high thermal and electrical conductivity. It also outlines the mechanical properties of copper tubes according to UNE‑EN 1057, including tensile strength, elongation and hardness for different treatment states (recocido, semiduro, duro).\n\nFurther sections detail the manufacturing processes (casting, extrusion, rolling, drawing, finishing), the various forms of supply (straight strips, rolls), and the applicable European and Spanish standards. The guide emphasizes the advantages of copper tubes—corrosion resistance, low pressure loss, durability, fire resistance (Class A1) and recyclability—making them suitable for a wide range of construction applications. This manual is written in Spanish.
