Although the material symbol designation used in this standard might be the same as that in other standards using thedesignation system given in ISO 1190-1, the detailed composition requirements are not necessarily the same.4.1.3 NumberThe material number designation is in accordance with the system given in EN 1412.4.2
TemperFor the purposes of this standard, the following designation, which is in accordance with the system given inEN 1173, applies for the material temper (see Table 1):Y. Temper designated by the minimum value of 0,2% proof strength requirement for the product with mandatory0,2% proof strength, tensile strength, elongation and grain size requirements.4.3
ProductThe product designation provides a standardized pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocaldescription of a product is conveyed in communication. It provides mutual comprehension at the international levelwith regard to products which meet the requirements of the relevant European Standard.The product designation is no substitute for the full content of the standard.The product designation for products to this standard shall consist of:–denomination (Copper tube);–number of this European Standard (EN 12735-2);–temper designation (see Table 1);–nominal cross-sectional dimensions: outside diameter × wall thickness (see Tables 2 and 7);–inner surface type (the following designations shall be used as appropriate: S for smooth, G for inner grooved).The derivation of a product designation is shown in the following example.

Dimensions and tolerances for smooth tubes6.3.1
GeneralThe geometrical properties of the tubes are defined by outside diameter, wall thickness and for straight lengths, alsoby length.NOTE
For reference purposes, if DN designation of size for components of a pipework system is required, it can be calculatedfor tubes to this standard by: Nominal outside diameter (d) – 2 × nominal wall thickness (e) DN is defined as a dimensionless whole number which is indirectly related to the physical size, in millimetres, of the bore oroutside diameter of the end connections.In cases of dispute, the dimensions shall be measured at a temperature of (23 ± 5) °C.
