Standard Specification for U-Bend Seamless Copper and Copper Alloy Heat Exchanger and Condenser Tubes

1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for condenser, evaporator, and heat exchanger U-bends that are manufactured from seamless copper and copper alloy tube.

1.2 UnitsThe values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems could result in nonconformance with the specification.

1.3 This specification is applicable to product 2 in. [50 mm] or less, inclusive, in diameter.

1.4 The product shall be produced from one of the following coppers or copper alloys, as specified in the ordering information:
