In 2021, Taojun was recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to process improvement and technological innovation.

High-Performance 4mm Bundy Tubes: Technical Specification

Bundy tubes, or double-walled low-carbon steel tubes, are key to modern refrigeration and automotive systems. Our 4mm Bundy tubes are engineered to deliver reliable hermetic sealing, thermal efficiency, and burst resistance.

Understanding double-walled copper-brazed steel tubing

Our 4mm Bundy tubes are manufactured by continuously strip-forming a copper-coated low-carbon steel strip into a double-wrapped cylinder, which is then brazed at high temperatures in a reducing atmosphere. This process yields a unified, concentric tube with consistent mechanical properties.

Key standards compliance: Our tubes fully conform to ASTM A254 and EN 10139 guidelines, ensuring consistent performance for high-vibration and high-pressure refrigeration circuits.

Technology Roadmap & Future Outlook

As the refrigeration and automotive industries adapt to environmental updates and changing standards, Ningbo Taojun continues to update its production technologies.

Natural Refrigerant Compatibility (CO2 & Propane R290): The adoption of eco-friendly refrigerants requires systems that can withstand higher operational pressures. We are refining our double-walled brazing methods to handle operating pressures up to 120 bar, supporting CO2 transcritical systems.

Advanced PVF (Polyvinyl Fluoride) & Epoxy Coating: To improve corrosion resistance without compromising thermal conductivity, we are introducing thin-layer organic coatings that exceed 1000-hour salt spray test requirements under ASTM B117 standards.

Technical Q&A: Bundy Tubing & Refrigeration Accessories

Detailed answers to technical questions about refrigeration tubing design, applications, and selection parameters.

What are the main design differences between Bundy tubes and standard copper tubes?

Bundy tubes, or double-walled brazed steel tubes, provide higher tensile and yield strength than standard copper tubes, making them resistant to high pressures and structural fatigue. While copper has higher thermal conductivity, Bundy tubes offer a cost-effective, pressure-resistant alternative, particularly in automotive brake lines and static wire-on-tube refrigeration condensers.

How does Ningbo Taojun maintain internal tube cleanliness for HVAC systems?

Internal cleanliness is verified using a solvent-washing process followed by gravimetric assessment to ensure internal residue remains below 0.16 g/m², conforming to DIN 8964 standards. This process helps prevent capillary clogging and protects the compressor.

What anti-corrosion surface treatments are available for your 4mm Bundy tubes?

We offer several coating options based on application requirements, including standard copper electroplating (≥3μm), zinc plating with chromate passivation, PVF (Polyvinyl Fluoride) coating for harsh environments, and epoxy powder coatings.

Can you support customized bending and end-forming geometries?

Yes. Our CNC bending equipment and end-forming machinery support custom tolerances down to ±0.05 mm, enabling shapes like expansion bells, reductions, and custom flare fittings for quick integration into assembly lines.

What lead times and shipping options are available for overseas orders?

Our standard production lead time is 15 to 25 days depending on batch volume. Located near Ningbo Port, we coordinate standard FOB, CIF, and DDP shipments to simplify international logistics.
