Scope

GB/T 42512-2023 is the English-translated version of 铜合金护套无缝盘管.

China's national standard for copper alloy seamless coil tube used as sheathing. It specifies the terms and definitions, the classification and the requirements. Coil tube is supplied in continuous lengths wound on a drum rather than as straight lengths, and that form is what the application needs: a sheath drawn over a cable or an element, a heat exchanger coil, or a hydraulic or instrument line run without joints. The absence of joints is the point - every fitting in a small-bore line is a potential leak and a restriction, and a continuous coil eliminates them across the whole run. Producing it means drawing and annealing tube in lengths of hundreds of metres and coiling it without kinking or ovalising, which is a specialised operation. The alloy is chosen for the service: plain copper for thermal duty, and the copper-nickel and brass alloys where seawater or ammonia would attack it.

3 Terms and Definitions

For the purposes of this Document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1 Precise coiling coil The tubes in the delivery state are finished by the winding machine and turned into coils arranged relatively regularly up and down.

3.2 Free coiling coil After the tube is produced, it is cut into rolls by a stretching machine, forming an irregularly arranged coil in the basket.

4 Classification and Labelling

4.1 Product classification The designation, code, state, type and specification of the tube shall comply with the provisions of Table 1.

6.2 Overall dimension and its tolerance The measurement method of overall dimension and its tolerance of the tube shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 26303.1.

6 Test Methods...

6.3 Mechanical properties

6.3.1 The tensile test of the tube shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 34505-2017. The tensile test specimens with an outer diameter of the tube less than or equal to 30mm shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of full-section specimens specified in GB/T 34505-2017. For the tube with outer diameter greater than 30mm, it shall be carried out according to the provisions of S1 specimen specified in GB/T 34505-2017.

6.3.2 The hardness test method of the tube shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 4340.1.
