1.1This specification covers the requirements for seamless round, rectangular, and square copper tube suitable for general engineering applications.
1.1.1Tubes made from any of the following Copper UNS No. designations shall be supplied unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order:
Copper UNS No. | Type of Copper |
C10100 | Oxygen-free electronic |
C10200 | Oxygen-free without residual deoxidants |
C10300 | Oxygen-free, extra low phosphorus |
C10800 | Oxygen-free, low phosphorus |
C12000 | Phosphorus deoxidized, low residual phosphorus |
C12200 | Phosphorus deoxidized, high residual phosphorus |
1.2Units—The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
1.3The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to the test methods described in 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.
1.4This 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.
