1. Scope
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for welded copper tube with a longitudinal seam free of filler metal produced from sheet or strip of the following coppers:
Copper UNS Nos. | Type of Copper |
C10100 | Oxygen-free electronic |
C10200 | Oxygen-free |
C10300 | Oxygen-free, extra low phosphorus |
C10800 | Oxygen-free, low phosphorus |
C11000 | Electrolytic tough pitch |
C12000 | Phosphorus deoxidized, low residual phosphorus |
C12200 | Phosphorus deoxidized, high residual phosphorus |
C14200 | Phosphorus deoxidized, arsenical |
1.2 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, product furnished of any listed copper, with the exception of copper C11000, shall be considered acceptable.
1.2.1 Copper C11000 welded tube shall not be used in applications in which heating may cause hydrogen embrittlement.
1.3 Values stated in inch-pound units are the standard except for grain size which is given in SI units. Values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 The following hazard caveat pertains only to Section
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
