1. Scope*
1.1 This specification2 establishes the requirements for seamless, copper alloy pipe and tube in nominal pipe sizes, both regular
and extra strong, and seamless tube in straight lengths for general engineering purposes. Pipe and tube are produced in the copper
alloy UNS Numbers: C61300, C61400, C63020, C65100, and C65500.
NOTE 1—Inquiry should be made of the manufacturer or supplier concerning the availability of product in a specific alloy.
1.2 Units—Values The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are
mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 The following safety caveat pertains only to the test method(s) described in this specification. This standard does not
purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
iTeh Standards
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
