Copper tube

Copper tube describes a copper tubular product without selecting a particular type, temper, or application. Copper tube is supplied under different dimensional and product categories and may be joined by soldering, brazing, or suitable mechanical methods depending on the system. This identity must not be assumed to mean Type K, L, or M, refrigeration tube, or medical-gas tube. Selection should define the product standard, actual or nominal sizing basis, wall and temper, medium, joining process, pressure-temperature conditions, and applicable project rules.
