scope:
This Standard establishes requirements for wrought copper and wrought copper alloy seamless pressure fittings designed for use by brazing with seamless copper tube conforming to ASTM B88 (for water and general plumbing systems), ASTM B280 (for air conditioning and refrigeration service), and ASTM B819 (for medical gas systems).
Fittings made in accordance with this Standard are intended for assembly with brazing materials conforming to AWS A5.8M/A5.8.
This Standard is allied to ASME B16.18 for cast copper alloy pressure fittings and ASME B16.22 for wrought fittings that can be used in soldering or brazing. This Standard provides requirements for fitting ends of suitable depth to only be joined by brazing. Fittings manufactured to this Standard are not suitable for joining by soldering. When soldering is the desired joining method, use fittings manufactured to ASME B16.18 or ASME B16.22. This Standard covers
(a) pressure-temperature
(b) abbreviations for end connections
(c) size and method of designating openings of fittings
(d) marking
(e) material
(f) dimensions and tolerances
(g) testing
