Are refrigeration fittings OD or ID?
Are refrigeration fittings OD or ID?
Refrigeration tubing is measured by it’s outside diameter or O.D.: ¼, ½, 5/8, ¾, 7/8, 1-1/8, 1-3/8, 1-5/8, etc. Plumbing tubing is measured by it’s inside diameter or I.D. : 1/8, ¼, ½, ¾, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 1-3/4,etc.

What type of tubing is used in refrigeration?
copper tubing
Hardened copper tubing is used for water lines, commercial refrigeration and HVAC. This type of tubing is joined using grooved, compression, crimped, or sweat connections.

Is copper pipe ID or OD?
Pipe goes by nominal sizes rather than actual measurements which can be confusing. Copper 3/4-inch pipe, for instance, doesn’t measure 3/4-inch. Its outside diameter (OD) is 0.875 inch and inner diameter (ID) is 0.811 inches for Type M pipe (a designation that relates to wall thickness).

Is copper tubing measured by ID or OD?
In the plumbing trade, the size of copper tubing is measured by its outside diameter in millimeters. Common sizes are 15 mm and 22 mm. Other sizes include 18 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm, 42 mm, 54 mm, 66.7 mm, 76.1 mm, and 108 mm outside diameters.
What are ACR copper fittings?
Copper tube for air-conditioning and refrigeration field service (ACR) is designated by actual outside diameter. “Temper” describes the strength and hardness of the tube. In the piping trades, drawn temper tube is often referred to as “hard” tube and annealed as “soft” tube.
Why is copper pipe used in refrigeration?
During the cooling process, pipes comes in contact with air which causes oxidation within these pipes. Copper can better handle oxidation and corrosion for longer periods ultimately gives air conditioners a longer lifespan. Cooling on copper pipes is much faster due its lower specific heat quality.
In what size rolls is soft copper tubing normally available?
In what size rolls is soft copper tubing normally available? Soft copper is normally available 25-ft or 50-ft rolls and in diameters from 3/16 in. to ⅞ in. Why are some ACR tubing lines insulated? To keep the refrigerant from absorbing excess heat.
