GSO ASTM B88M:2009 Scope
1.1 This specification covers seamless copper water tube
suitable for general plumbing, similar applications for the
conveyance of fluids, and commonly used with solder, flared,
or compression-type fittings. The type of copper water tube
suitable for any particular application is determined by the
internal or external fluid pressure, by the installation and
service conditions, and by local requirements. Means of joining
or bending are also factors that affect the selection of the type
of tube to be used.2
NOTE 1—Annealed tube is suitable for use with flared or compression
fittings, and with solder-type fittings, provided rounding and sizing of the
tube ends is performed where needed.
NOTE 2—Drawn temper tube is suitable for use with solder-type
fittings. Types A and B tube, in the drawn temper, are suitable for use with
certain types and sizes of compression fittings.
NOTE 3—This specification is the metric companion of Specification
B 88.
1.2 The tube shall be produced from the following coppers,
and the manufacturer has the option to supply any one of them,
unless otherwise specified:

high residual phosphorus
1.3 The assembly of copper plumbing or fire sprinkler
systems by soldering is described in Practice B 828.
1.4 Solders for joining copper potable water or fire sprinkler
systems are covered by Specification B 32. The requirements
for acceptable fluxes for these systems are covered by Specification
B 813.
1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the
test methods portion, Section 15, of this specification: This
standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user
of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
