C12200 Forged Copper Pipe Forged Copper Tubing | C1220T
C12200 Forged Copper Pipes are high-performance phosphorus-deoxidized copper (Cu-DHP) pipes used extensively in heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, refrigeration, HVAC systems, marine, and industrial piping. these copper pipes are forged to provide superior strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity for demanding applications.
We are a professional manufacturer and exporter of C12200 forged copper pipes in China, supplying both seamless and forged copper tubes with EN 10204 3.1 certification for global clients in Asia, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
What is C12200 Forged Copper Pipe?
C12200 copper pipes are phosphorus-deoxidized high residual phosphorus copper (Cu-DHP), offering:
- Outstanding corrosion resistance in fresh water and brackish environments
- Excellent thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer
- Superior weldability and brazing properties
- High ductility and durability for long-term service
These forged copper pipes are widely applied in industrial heat exchangers, sugar refinery condensers, marine cooling systems, and HVAC piping.
Equivalent Standards
| Standard | Grade |
|---|---|
| ASTM | C12200 |
| ASME | SB111 C12200 |
| JIS | H3300 C1220T |
| ISO | Cu-DHP |

Chemical Composition (wt%)
| Element | Content |
|---|---|
| Copper (Cu) | ≥ 99.9% |
| Phosphorus (P) | 0.015 – 0.040% |
Phosphorus improves weldability, reduces hydrogen embrittlement, and enhances the forging performance of the copper pipes.
