Annotation of standard text ASTM B640-12a(2021) :
This specification establishes the requirements for welded copper for air conditioning and refrigeration service for use in connections, repairs, and alterations. The material of manufacture shall be sheet or strip of Copper Alloy UNS No. C10100, or C10200, or C12000, or C12200 of such purity and soundness as to be suitable for processing into welded tube to meet the properties prescribed. The product shall be manufactured by forming the material into a tubular shape on a suitable forming mill and welded using an automatic process. The product shall be cold worked to the finished size and wall thickness and subsequently annealed to meet the temper properties specified. The material shall conform to the chemical compositional requirements for the Copper UNS No. designation specified. Tensile strength test, expansion test, microscopical examination, hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility, flattening test, reverse bend test, electromagnetic test, and cleanness test shall be made to conform to specified requirements.

1.1?This specification establishes the requirements for welded copper tube for air conditioning and refrigeration service for use in connections, repairs, and alterations. The tube shall be made from one of the following coppers:
Note 1:?Fittings used for soldered or brazed connections in
air conditioning and refrigeration systems are described in ASME
Standard B 16.22.
Note 2:?The assembly of copper tubular systems by soldering is
described in Practice B828.
Note 3:?Solders for joining copper tubular systems by
described in Specification B32. The requirements for acceptable
fluxes for these systems are described in Specification
B813.
1.2?Copper UNS No. C12200 shall be furnished, unless otherwise specified. The copper tube shall be supplied in annealed coils or drawn temper straight lengths. 1.3?UnitsThe 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. 1.4?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. 1.5?This 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. |
