Copper 101-H04 Round Tubing, ASTM F68, 1/2" OD, 0.43" ID, 0.035" Wall, 12" Length

This copper C101 round tubing is suitable for transport of fluids and gases. The tubing is seamless for a smoother interior flow and greater burst strength than welded tubing. It has an oxygen-free composition for chemical reaction-free use and a full-hard temper (H04) to provide high hardness and yield strength ratings for dimensional stability. This seamless round tubing meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F68 specifications for quality assurance and is suitable for use in applications such as household appliances. Metal tubing, also called fractional tubing, is used to transfer liquids, air, or solids, and it is characterized by a round shape and a hollow center. Metal tubing is commonly made with various grades of austenitic stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium materials and their alloys. Construction types include seamless, welded, or welded and drawn. Seamless tubing has no seam or weld point, which enables it to better withstand high pressure and resist corrosion. Welded tubing, made by rolling and welding metal sheet stock, is weaker than and not as rounded as seamless tubing, but it has a more consistent wall thickness for tighter wall tolerances. Welded and drawn tubing, also known as "drawn over mandrel" (DOM), is typically welded tubing that is drawn through a die and over a mandrel to create a smooth inner diameter, which gives the tubing comparable corrosion resistance to seamless tubing while still offering welded tubing's tighter wall tolerances. Compression, vacuum, sanitary, and flared fittings connect tubing or redirect flow in a fluid handling system. Metal tubing is used in HVAC and plumbing systems and for applications in the aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, food and beverage, manufacturing, and medical industries.
