ASTM B75-02

Standard Specification for Seamless Copper Tube

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the requirements for seamless round, rectangular, and square copper tube suitable for general engineering applications. The tube shall be manufactured by such hot- and cold-working processes as to produce a homogeneous, uniform wrought structure in the finished product. It shall be cold drawn to the finished size and wall thickness. The requirements and size availability of tube in the tempers shall conform to the specified requirements. Tensile and yield strength test, Rockwell hardness test, expansion test, microscopical examination, hydrogen embrittlement, electromagnetic test, hydrostatic pressure test, pneumatic pressure test, electrical resistivity, and chemical composition shall be made to conform to specified requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for seamless round, rectangular, and square copper tube suitable for general engineering applications.
1.1.1 Tubes made from any of the following Copper UNS No. designations shall be supplied unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order:Copper UNS No.Type of CopperC10100Oxygen-free electronicC10200Oxygen-free without residual deoxidantsC10300Oxygen-free, extra low phosphorusC10800Oxygen-free, low phosphorusC12000Phosphorus deoxidized, low residual phosphorusC12200Phosphorus deoxidized, high residual phosphorus
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard except for grain size values which are given in SI units.
1.3 This specification is the companion to SI Specification B 75M; therefore no SI equivalents are presented in this specification.
1.4 The following hazard statement pertains only to the test method described in Sections 20.5.2.1, 21.2.9, and 21.2.10 of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
