HandlingCoiledStraight sections
RoutingSuitable for appropriate curved routesSuitable for rigid sections
CuttingCut from coilCut from straight lengths
SelectionDepends on projectDepends on project

Neither format is automatically better.

The correct choice depends on the pipe route, installation method, project requirements and system design.

How Much Refrigeration Copper Pipe Do I Need?

Start with the designed pipe route.

Calculate the approximate length required for each diameter separately.

For example:

If a project requires approximately 58 metres of a particular pipe size:

58 ÷ 5.8 = 10 straight lengths

The final quantity should consider the actual installation route and cutting requirements.

If using 15m coils, divide the required length by 15 metres and account for the actual installation requirements.

For commercial and industrial projects, use the project BOQ or approved pipe schedule.
