Technical Specification:
- Tube Diameter: Ranges from 0.375 inches to 1.50 inches.
- Wall Thickness: Between 0.035 inches and 0.25 inches.
- Fin Thickness: Varies from 0.010 inches to 0.050 inches
Additional Information:
- The seamless copper tubes are expanded into the fin with an extruded full collar that ensures excellent metal-to-metal contact to optimize thermal performance.
- Fin strip is pre-formed into an accurately controlled stepped double L shape, rolled in a uniform taper, and helically wound under tension onto a tube. The foot of one fin overlaps the foot of the next fin giving complete coverage of the core tube.
- Tension wound finned tubes are formed by winding a strip made of aluminum or copper around the tube under tension.

What Is Copper Fin Tube?
A copper fin tube is a specialized heat exchanger tube made of copper or copper alloy. It features fins on its outer surface that act as extended surfaces to enhance heat transfer performance. These fins increase the surface area available for heat exchange, making copper fin tubes ideal for applications where efficient thermal control is crucial. Copper is used because of its high thermal conductivity. Finned copper tubing is durable and corrosion-resistant, but may require protective coatings in harsh environments.
Performance Characteristics Of Copper Fin Tube
- Efficient Heat Transfer: Copper’s high thermal conductivity allows for efficient heat transfer. The addition of fins further improves heat transfer by providing more surface area for heat exchange.
- Improved Thermal Efficiency: The integration of copper tubes and fins increases the surface area available for heat transfer. This results in more heat being transferred, leading to enhanced thermal performance.
- Temperature Control: Copper fins help to achieve desired temperature levels, enhancing the performance and lifespan of equipment. They are effective in maintaining a stable temperature in HVAC systems and optimizing heat dissipation in electronic devices.
Advantages Of Cufin Tube's Copper Fin Tube
- Excellent Thermal Conductivity: Copper is one of the best heat conductors among common metals, enabling highly efficient heat transfer. It has a conductivity rate of about 400 W/m·K.
- Enhanced Heat Transfer: The addition of fins significantly increases the surface area for heat exchange, improving heat transfer performance.
- Corrosion Resistance: Copper exhibits good corrosion resistance, especially in water-based environments, making it suitable for various applications, including refrigeration systems and solar water heaters
- Longevity: Copper fin tubes have a long lifespan, contributing to their cost-effectiveness over time.
- Compatibility: Copper fins are compatible with copper tubes, ensuring the prevention of any compatibility issues or degradation of performance over time
Applications Of Copper Fin Tube
Copper Fin Tubes are integral in several systems:
- HVAC Systems: Copper fin tubes are a key component in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. They facilitate heat transfer in evaporator coils, condenser coils, and heat exchangers. They can be found in residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC systems.
- Refrigeration: They help in the cooling process in refrigeration systems and appliances.
- Heat Exchangers: These tubes are used in a wide range of heat exchangers, including air-to-air, air-to-liquid, and liquid-to-liquid systems.
- Radiators: Copper fin tubes are commonly used in automotive and household radiators to transfer heat from the engine coolant to the surrounding air. They also aid in dissipating heat generated by machinery in industrial radiators.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Copper Fin Tube
Are copper fin tubes suitable for corrosive environments?
Copper exhibits good corrosion resistance in many environments. However, in highly corrosive environments, protective coatings or alternative materials might be necessary to prolong the lifespan of the tubes.
How do copper fin tubes compare to aluminum fin tubes in terms of performance and cost?
Copper generally offers superior thermal conductivity compared to aluminum. Although aluminum is often used with copper, they perform differently. Aluminum is typically cheaper and lighter, but copper’s enhanced heat transfer and durability often make it a more cost-effective choice in the long run.
Can copper fin tubes be easily repaired if damaged?
Copper is relatively easy to weld and repair. This makes maintenance and repairs more straightforward compared to some other materials.
What are the standard sizes and dimensions available for copper fin tubes?
Copper fin tubes are available in a wide range of sizes and dimensions. Common outer diameters range from around 12mm to 60mm, with fin heights and thicknesses varying depending on the application.
