Copper’s excellent corrosion resistance is an important reason for its choice in so many applications. Solar energy systems, for example, benefit from copper’s resistance to both atmospheric and aqueous corrosion. For water distribution and fire sprinkler systems, copper tube’s internal corrosion resistance results in superior flow capacity. When calculating flow capacities, other plumbing materials require additional allowances for corrosion, scaling, out-of-roundness and smaller internal diameter when compared size-to-size with copper. Copper tube bores remain smooth, and internal diameters stay constant.
