1.1This specification covers the requirements for seamless copper tube intended for use in the connection, repairs, or alternations of air conditioning or refrigeration units in the field.
Note 1:Fittings used for soldered or brazed connections in air conditioning and refrigeration systems are described in ASME Standard B16.22.
Note 2:The assembly of copper tubular systems by soldering is described in Practice B828.
Note 3:Solders for joining copper tubular systems are described in Specification B32. The requirements for acceptable fluxes for these systems are described in Specification B813.
1.2The tube shall be produced from the following coppers, and the manufacturer has the option to supply any one of them, unless otherwise specified:
| Copper | Previously Used | Description |
| C10200 | OF | Oxygen free without |
| C12000 | DLP | Phosphorus deoxidized, |
| C12200 | DHP | Phosphorus deoxidized, |
1.3The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4The following hazard statement pertains only to the test method described in 18.2.4 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
