Product Description

ASME SB111 C60800/61300/61400 Copper Alloy Pipe

1. Standard Specification

ASME SB111 is a standard that pertains to seamless copper and copper - alloy tubes for general - purpose applications. It sets strict guidelines regarding the manufacturing process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensional tolerances of these tubes. The C60800, C61300, and C61400 are specific copper - alloy grades covered under this standard. Compliance with ASME SB111 ensures that the pipes are of high quality and suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

2. Chemical Composition

The chemical compositions of C60800, C61300, and C61400 copper - alloy pipes are as follows:

Grade	Cu (%)	Al (%)	Fe (%)	Mn (%)	Other Elements
C60800	95.0 min	4.0 - 5.0	≤ 0.50	≤ 0.50	-
C61300	91.0 - 95.0	4.0 - 5.5	0.50 - 2.0	≤ 0.50	-
C61400	90.0 - 94.0	4.0 - 5.5	0.50 - 2.5	≤ 0.50	-

Copper (Cu) is the base element, providing excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Aluminum (Al) is added to enhance the strength and corrosion resistance of the alloy. In C60800, the relatively lower aluminum content (4.0 - 5.0%) offers a balance between conductivity and basic strength. C61300 and C61400, with a broader range of aluminum and higher iron content, have improved mechanical properties, especially in terms of strength and hardness. Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) contribute to the alloy's strength and also play a role in deoxidation during the manufacturing process.

3. Mechanical Properties

The mechanical properties of these copper - alloy pipes vary according to the grade:

Grade	Tensile Strength (MPa)	Yield Strength (MPa)	Elongation (%)	Hardness (HRB)
C60800	290 - 415	125 - 240	20 - 40	40 - 70
C61300	345 - 485	170 - 310	15 - 35	50 - 80
C61400	345 - 485	170 - 310	15 - 35	50 - 80

The tensile strength range indicates the ability of the pipes to withstand stretching forces without breaking. C61300 and C61400 generally have a higher tensile strength compared to C60800 due to their higher alloying element content. The yield strength determines the stress at which the pipes start to deform plastically. The elongation percentage shows the ductility of the material, which is important for manufacturing processes such as bending and forming. The hardness values (HRB) give an indication of the material's resistance to indentation and wear.

4. Dimensions

4.1 Outer Diameter

ASME SB111 copper - alloy pipes are available in a wide range of outer diameters. The standard typically covers sizes from 6.35 mm (0.25 in) to 508 mm (20 in). The outer diameter tolerances are as follows:

Outside Diameter (mm)	Tolerance (mm)
6.35 - 48.26	± 0.15
48.26 - 114.30	± 0.30
114.30 - 219.08	± 0.40
219.08 - 323.85	± 0.60
323.85 - 406.40	± 0.80
406.40 - 508.00	± 1.00

4.2 Wall Thickness

The wall thickness tolerances of the pipes are based on the outer diameter:

Outside Diameter (mm)	Tolerance (%)
6.35 - 114.30	+ 12.5 / - 10
114.30 - 508.00	+ 10 / - 8

4.3 Length

The pipes can be supplied in random lengths, usually ranging from 4 m to 12 m, or cut - to - length as per customer requirements. For cut - to - length pipes, the length tolerances are:

Cut Length (m)	Tolerance (mm)
≤ 6	+ 6 / - 0
6 - 9	+ 9 / - 0
9 - 12	+ 12 / - 0

5. Manufacturing Process

ASME SB111 C60800/61300/61400 copper - alloy pipes are produced through a seamless manufacturing process. First, a copper - alloy billet is heated to a suitable temperature. Then, it is pierced to form a hollow shell. This shell is further processed by hot - rolling or cold - drawing techniques to achieve the desired outer diameter and wall thickness. After the forming process, the pipes may undergo heat - treatment, such as annealing, to relieve internal stresses, improve the mechanical properties, and enhance the dimensional stability of the pipes.

6. Applications

These copper - alloy pipes find extensive use in various industries:

• Heat Exchangers: In power plants, refineries, and industrial cooling systems, C60800/61300/61400 pipes are used in heat - exchanger applications. Their good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance make them ideal for transferring heat between different fluids.

• Marine Applications: Due to their resistance to seawater corrosion, these pipes are used in shipbuilding for applications such as seawater intake and discharge systems, as well as in heat - exchangers on board ships.

• Hydraulic Systems: In hydraulic systems, the pipes are used to transport hydraulic fluids. Their high strength and good formability make them suitable for withstanding the pressure and being bent or shaped to fit the system requirements.

• General Plumbing and Piping: In commercial and residential buildings, they are used for plumbing and piping systems. Their corrosion resistance ensures a long - lasting service life, and their ease of installation due to good formability is an added advantage.

7. Testing

To ensure the quality and performance of ASME SB111 C60800/61300/61400 copper - alloy pipes, several tests are carried out:

• Chemical Analysis: Samples are taken from the pipes to verify the chemical composition using methods like atomic absorption spectroscopy or inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry. This ensures that the pipes meet the specified chemical requirements for each grade.

• Mechanical Tests: Tensile tests are performed to measure the tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. Hardness tests, such as Rockwell B hardness testing, are carried out to assess the material's hardness. Bend tests and flattening tests are also conducted to evaluate the formability of the pipes.

• Dimensional Inspection: The outer diameter, wall thickness, and length of the pipes are measured using precision measuring instruments to ensure they are within the specified tolerances. Non - destructive testing methods like ultrasonic testing or eddy - current testing may be used to detect internal defects in the pipes.

• Corrosion Testing: Depending on the application, corrosion tests such as salt - spray testing or immersion testing in specific corrosive media may be performed to evaluate the pipes' corrosion resistance.

8. Marking

ASME SB111 C60800/61300/61400 copper - alloy pipes are marked in accordance with the standard requirements. The marking typically includes the standard designation (SB111), the grade (C60800, C61300, or C61400), the manufacturer's name or trademark, the size (outer diameter and wall thickness), and the heat number or lot number. This marking is crucial for traceability throughout the supply chain and for quality control purposes, enabling easy identification and tracking of the pipes from production to end - use.
