This specification covers bright annealed seamless copper tube suitable for use in refrigeration,oil lines, gasoline lines, and so forth, where tube with an interior surface essentially free from scale and dirt is required. The material of manufacture shall be billets, cast bars, or tube of the copper UNS No. C10200, C10300, C10800, C12000, or C12200 and shall be of such soundness as to be suitable for processing into the tubular products described. The tube shall be manufactured by such hot- or cold-working process as to produce a homogeneous uniform wrought structure in the finished product. The material shall conform to the required chemical composition specified. The tube shall be furnished in either O50 or O60 annealed tempers. The tube shall have the minimum tensile strength and elongation values as specified when tested. The outside diameter of the tube furnished shall be capable of being expanded to the specified value when tested. The tube shall be capable of being flattened in accordance with the method described. Copper UNS nos. C10200, C12000, and C12200 shall be capable of passing the embrittlement test. Tubes that do not actuate the signaling device of the testing unit shall be considered as conforming to the requirements of the examination.
