Materials and Manufacture | |||||||||||
Materials—The material of manufacture shall be billets, bars, or tube and shall be of such soundness as to be suitable for processing into the tubular products described. Manufacture: The tube shall be manufactured by such hot or cold working processes as to produce a homogeneous uniform wrought structure in the finished product. The tube shall be cold drawn to the finished size and wall thickness. Coiled lengths specified O60, soft annealed temper, shall be bright annealed after coiling, then dehydrated, and capped, plugged, crimped, or otherwise closed at both ends so as to maintain the internal cleanness of the tubing under normal conditions of handling and storage. Straight lengths specified H58 hard-drawn temper shall be cleaned and capped, plugged, or otherwise closed at both ends so as to maintain the internal cleanness of the tubing under normal conditions of handling and storage. |
|||||||||||
Chemical Composition | |||||||||||
The chemical composition shall conform to the chemical requirements for the specific type of copper. These limits do not preclude the presence of other elements. When included in the contract or purchase order, and agreed upon by the manufacturer or supplier and the purchaser, limits shall be established and analysis required for unnamed elements. |

Nondestructive Testing | |||||||||||
Electromagnetic (Eddy-Current) Examination: Each straight length of tube up to and including 31/s in. (79.4 mm) in outside diameter, shall be subjected to examination. Tubes that do not actuate the signaling device on the testing unit, after having been adjusted to provide information on the suitability of the tube for the intended application, shall conform to the requirements of this test. Testing shall be in accordance with Practice E 243. Testing of coiled lengths shall be subject to negotia-tion between the manufacturer and the purchaser. For tubes too large for the testing unit, the test method to be used shall be by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. |

Dimensions, Mass, and Permissible Variations | |||||||||||
The standard dimensions and weights per foot for the various nominal sizes. Wall Thickness and Diameter—The tolerances for wall thickness and diameter shall conform to the requirements specified. Lengths and Tolerances: Standard Lengths and Tolerances—The standard length for coils shall be 50 ft (15.2 m). The length tolerances for 50-ft coils shall be +12 in. (305 mm) and -0 in. The standard length for straight lengths shall be 20 ft (6.1 m). The length tolerances for 20-ft lengths shall be +1 in. (25 mm) and -0 in. Tubes supplied in other than standard lengths and tolerances shall be in accordance with requirements established by agreement between the manufacturer or supplier and the purchaser. Roundness—For drawn unannealed tube in straight lengths, the roundness tolerance as specified. The deviation from roundness is measured as the difference be-tween major and minor diameters as determined at any one cross section of the tube. Roundness tolerance has not been established for annealed tube in straight lengths nor for tubes furnished in coils. Squareness of Cut—For tube in straight lengths, the departure from squareness of the end of any tube shall not exceed more than 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) for tube up to and including 5/s-in. (15.9-mm) standard size; and not more than 0.016 in./in. (0.016 mm/mm) of outside diameter, for tube larger than 5/s-in. standard size. For the purpose of determining conformance with the dimensional requirements prescribed in this specification, any measured value outside the specified limiting values for any dimension shall be subject to rejection. |
