This European Standard specifies the requirements, sampling, test methods and conditions of delivery for copper tubes.
It is applicable to seamless round copper tubes having an outside diameter from 6 mm up to and including 133 mm for pipeline systems under vacuum or for distributing the following medical gases intended to be used at operating pressures up to 2 000 kPa:
oxygen, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, xenon;
medical air;
specific mixtures of these above mentioned gases;
air for driving surgical tools;
anaesthetic gases and vapours.
