EN 13348:2001 (E)IntroductionIt is recommended that tubes manufactured to this standard are certified as conforming to the requirements of thisstandard based on continuing surveillance which should be coupled with an assessment of a supplier's qualitymanagement system against EN ISO 9001.Tubes to this European Standard are suitable for capillary soldering, brazing or assembling by mechanicalcompression or collared fittings.NOTE
Appropriate precautions should be taken if applying insulating material because it could be detrimental to the copper tube.1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies the requirements, sampling, test methods and conditions of delivery for coppertubes.It is applicable to seamless round copper tubes having an outside diameter from 8 mm up to and including 54 mmfor pipeline systems for distributing the following medical gases intended to be used at operating pressures up to2 000 kPa and for systems under vacuum:–oxygen, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, xenon;–air for breathing;–specific mixtures of these above mentioned gases;–air for driving surgical tools;–anaesthetic gases and vapours;–vacuum.2
