Film-free surface
Film-free surface
Industrial copper tubes with the quality feature “cuproclean®”:
Soft, smooth copper tubes in coiled form for industrial applications with optimum inner cleanliness to avoid the onset of corrosion due to the oxygen in water.
To avoid pitting corrosion in fresh water containing oxygen, a carbon-free tube surface is required according to the quality of the water. Testing for any carbon deposits following annealing of the copper tubes is carried out using a process, which is stipulated as a carbon film test in EN DIN 1057.
Here there must be proof that there is no carbon film on the interior of the tube.
For soft, coiled, seamless copper industrial tubes, Wieland has developed a special process to guarantee a carbon-free interior surface.
