ASTM B302-02

Standard Specification for Threadless Copper Pipe, Standard Sizes

SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes requirements for threadless, seamless, deoxidized copper pipe (TP) in straight lengths, in all nominal or standard pipe sizes, for piping systems that are assembled with brazed-joint pipe fittings. The pipe shall be produced from either of coppers UNS Nos. C10300 or C12200.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information only.
1.3 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to the test methods described Section 16 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 its use.
