Product Description BS 2871 Copper and Copper Alloy Tubes for Plumbing/Heat Exchangers/Marine/CondensersCategoryMaterial CodeName & DescriptionKey Properties & ApplicationsChemical CompositionMechanical PropertiesInspection & Testing RequirementsTolerancesPart 1Tubes for water, gas & sanitationC101High-conductivity copperVery high electrical conductivity, primarily for electrical conduction rather than pressure piping.Very high copper purity with strict limits on impurities.Varies based on temper (e.g., annealed, hard-drawn); includes tensile strength, elongation, hardness.Dimensional checks, Visual inspection, Mechanical tests (e.g., tensile, flaring, flattening), Hydrostatic testing.Tolerances for outer diameter, wall thickness, and length (straight and coiled tubes) are specified. C106Phosphorus deoxidized copperSuitable for welding; used in pressure applications (water, gas, sanitation systems).Phosphorus content within a specified range; copper purity to standard.Varies based on temper; suitable for forming and welding.Same as above.Same as above. C122Phosphorus deoxidized copper, higher P contentHigher phosphorus content than C106 for enhanced welding and brazing characteristics.Higher maximum phosphorus content than C106; copper purity to standard.Varies based on temper.Same as above.Same as above.Part 2Copper alloy tubes(e.g., Brass, Aluminium Bronze)Copper alloy tubesE.g., Brass (Cu-Zn), Aluminium Bronze; offer varied mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties.Strict limits on alloying elements (e.g., Zinc, Lead, Aluminium).Varies by specific alloy and temper; generally higher strength than pure copper.Dimensional checks, Visual inspection, Mechanical tests (as applicable), Pressure testing (as applicable).Tolerances for outer diameter and wall thickness are specified.Part 3Seamless tubes for heat exchangers(Codes not specified)Seamless copper tubes for heat exchangersUsed in refrigeration, AC units, etc.; require high cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity.Very strict controls on copper purity and impurity content.Varies based on temper; must meet specific strength and ductility requirements.Strict dimensional checks, Visual inspection, Pressure testing, Non-destructive Testing (NDT) often required.Dimensional tolerances are very strict.General Requirements All materials must comply with the chemical composition limits for their category.All materials' mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation, hardness) vary with material temper (e.g., annealed, hard-drawn).All tubes require:- Dimensional checks (OD, wall thickness, straightness)- Visual inspection (surface defects)- Mechanical testing (e.g., tensile, hardness, flaring, flattening)- Hydrostatic/Pressure testing (for pressure applications)- Non-Destructive Testing (if specified)All tubes must conform to diameter, wall thickness, and length tolerances specified in the standard based on type and size.
