9. Grain Size for Annealed Welded Tube and Annealed
Fully Finished Welded Tube
9.1 Grain size shall be the standard requirement for all
product in the annealed tempers.
9.2 Acceptance or rejection based upon grain size shall
depend only on the average grain size of a test specimen taken
from each of two sample portions, and each specimen shall be
within the limits prescribed in Table 2 when determined in
accordance with Test Methods E112.
10. Physical Property Requirements
10.1 Electrical Resistivity Requirements:
10.1.1 When specified in the contract or purchase order, the
product purchased for electrical conductor applications shall
conform to the electrical mass resistivity requirements pre-
scribed in Table 3 when tested in accordance with Test Method
B193.
NOTE 2—The International Annealed Copper Standard electrical con-
ductivity equivalents are given in Appendix X2.
11. Mechanical Property Requirements
11.1 Tensile Strength Requirements:
11.1.1 As welded, welded and cold drawn, and fully fin-
ished tube in drawn tempers furnished under this specification
shall conform to the tensile strength requirements prescribed in
Table 4 when tested in accordance with Test Methods E8/E8M.
11.1.2 Acceptance or rejection based on mechanical prop-
erties shall depend only on tensile strength.
11.2 Rockwell Hardness Requirements:
11.2.1 The approximate Rockwell hardness values given in
Table 2 and Table 4 are for general information and assistance
in testing and shall not be used as a basis for product rejection.
NOTE 3—The Rockwell hardness test offers a quick and convenient
method for checking general conformity to the specification requirements
for temper, tensile strength, and grain size.
12. Performance Requirements
12.1 Microscopical Examination:
12.1.1 Tubes produced of coppers C10100, C10200,
C10300, and C12000 shall be free of cuprous oxide as
determined by Procedure A of Test Methods B577.
12.1.2 When specified in the ordering information, micro-
photographs of the manufacturer’s test specimens shall be
provided (see 5.2.2).
12.2 Hydrogen Embrittlement Susceptibility Test:
12.2.1 Samples of Coppers UNS Nos. C10100, C10200,
C10300, C10800, C12000, C12200, and C14200 shall be
capable of passing the embrittlement test of Procedure B of
Test Methods B577. The actual performance of this test is not
mandatory under the terms of this specification unless specified
at the time of ordering. In case of a dispute, a referee method
in accordance with Procedure C shall be used.

bismuth, arsenic, antimony, iron, nickel, zinc, phosphorus, selenium, tellurium,
manganese, cadmium, and oxygen present in the sample.
