ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the requirements for round, rectangular, and square copper alloy welded tube for general engineering applications. The tubes are classified into four types: Type I tubes which are finished by passing through sizing and straightening rolls at ambient temperature; Type II tubes which are finished by sizing, straightening, and annealing; Type III tubes which are finished by cold reducing or cold drawing over a plug or mandrel; and Type IV tubes which are finished by cold drawing over a plug or mandrel and annealing, and redrawing and annealing when necessary to conform to a specified size and temper. Tubes shall be welded by any process which produces forged or fusion welds. Forged-welded tube shall be scarfed to remove both internal and external flash. Forged-welded tube to be drawn over a mandrel to produce Types III and IV may have the internal flash completely removed. Fusion-welded tube shall be mechanically worked to produce a smooth external and internal surface without the application of scarfing or other removal of the weld metal bead. Grain size and mechanical properties such as tensile strength and Rockwell hardness shall be determined. The tubes shall be subjected to mercury nitrate, expansion, flattening, and reverse bend tests for performance evaluation. Non-destructive tests such as eddy-current test, hydrostatic test, and pneumatic tests shall be done as well.

ABSTRACT
This specification covers seamless round and rectangular including square copper alloy tube in straight lengths. The following copper alloys are specified and classified according to their nominal compositions: UNS No. C22000, UNS No. C23000, UNS No. C26000, UNS No. C27000, UNS No. C27200, UNS No. C27400, UNS No. C28000, UNS No. C33000, UNS No. C33200, UNS No. C37000, and UNS No. C44300. The tempers of drawn tube shall be designated as light-drawn (H55), drawn (H58), and hard-drawn (H80). Light-drawn (bending) temper is used only when a tube of some stiffness but yet capable of being bent is needed. Drawn temper is for general purposes and is most commonly used where there is no specific requirement for high strength on the one hand or for bending qualities on the other. Hard-drawn temper is used only where there is need for a tube as strong as is commercially feasible for the sizes indicated. For any combination of diameter and wall thickness not covered under hard-drawn temper, the values given for drawn temper shall be used. The tempers of annealed tube shall be designated as light anneal (O50) and soft anneal (O60). The tubes shall undergo mechanical tests such as tension test, Rockwell hardness test, and expansion test in order to determine certain properties such as tensile strength and hardness. A mercury nitrate test shall be done to detect and remove mercury vapor. Nondestructive tests such as eddy-current test, hydrostatic test, and pneumatic test shall be done as well.

ABSTRACT
This specification covers seamless copper alloy water tubes for general plumbing and similar applications in fluid conveyance. These water tubes made from UNS C10200, C12000, and C12200 copper alloys are commonly used with solder, flared, or compression-type fittings. The materials should be cold-drawn to size and the tubes finished by cold working and annealing to produce the required temper and surface finish. When tubes are furnished in coils, annealing is done after coiling, while those furnished in straight lengths should be in the drawn temper. The numerical values in this specification are not presented in inch-pound units, but rather, in metric or SI units only.
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
17.1 For purposes of determining compliance with the specified limits for requirements of the properties listed in Table 7, an observed value or calculated value shall be rounded as indicated in accordance with the rounding method of Practice E29.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for seamless copper water tube suitable for general plumbing, similar applications for the conveyance of fluids, and commonly used with solder, flared, or compression-type fittings.
