Cu-DHP
CW024APhosphorus-deoxidized copper (DHP = Deoxidized High Phosphorus, 0.015-0.040% P). THE material for copper plumbing tubes worldwide (EN 1057). P prevents hydrogen embrittlement during brazing/welding — essential for plumbing/HVAC joints. Slightly lower electrical conductivity than Cu-ETP (85% IACS vs 101%) due to P content. UNS C12200. Used for plumbing tubes, heating systems, solar thermal, refrigeration tubes, and architectural roofing.
