What is ASTM B88?

What is ASTM B88?

The B88 specification covers seamless copper water tube suitable for general plumbing, similar applications for the conveyance of fluids, and commonly used with solder, flared, or compression-type fittings. This specification is the imperial companion of Specification B 88M.

What is UNS C12200?

C12200 copper is a lightly alloyed grade of copper, formulated for primary forming into wrought products. CW024A is the EN numeric designation for this material. C12200 is the UNS number. The properties of C12200 copper include thirteen common variations.

What color is Type K copper?

20 ft.

What is phosphorus deoxidized copper?

Phosphorus Deoxidised Tough Pitch Copper (Cu-DLP) is a general purpose tough pitch, phosphorus deoxidised copper, within which the residual phosphorus is maintained at a low level (0.005-0.013%) to achieve a good electrical conductivity. It has good thermal conductivity and excellent welding and soldering properties.

What are copper cathodes?

Copper cathodes are the basic building blocks of the copper production. They are the starting point for processing copper. With a purity of at least 99.99% the copper cathodes made by Brixlegg are certified as Grade A by the London Metal Exchange (LME) and registered as the brand “BRX”.

What is high conductivity copper?

Copper has the highest conductivity of any non-precious metal. This, combined with its high ductility, medium strength, ease of joining and good resistance to corrosion, makes copper the first choice as a conductor for electrical applications.

What are the uses of DHP copper CDA 122?

DHP Copper CDA 122. Light Drawn – Bending (H55)Temper is used only where a tube of some stiffness, but yet capable of readily being bent (or otherwise moderately cold worked) is needed. Typical Uses: Household: air conditioners, gas lines, heater lines, oil burner tubes, plumbing tube, refrigerators, Industrial: brewery tubes, condenser,…

What is the conductivity of 122copper alloy?

Copper alloy 122 is not susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement but has relatively low electrical conductivity due to the amount of phosphorous content. Farmer’s Copper Ltd. can offer material cut to your specifications on our bar saws, shears, precision plate saws, and water jets.

What is the difference between 110 and 122 copper tubes?

Weldable 122 Copper Tubes. The addition of phosphorus makes 122 copper easier to weld and braze than 110 copper. It has excellent resistance to corrosion caused by water, soil, and weather, making it the go-to material for plumbing and underground applications.
