Dimensions of copper tubes according ASTM B88 STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR SEAMLESS COPPER WATERTUBE can be found in the table below:

Copper tubes of type K are thick walled, much thicker than type L and M and are used for domestic water-, serviceand distribution-, fire protection-, solar-, fuel and oil-, HVAC-, compressed air-, natural gas-, oxygen-, LPG gas-, snowmelting-, steam- and vacuum-systems.

Copper tubes of type K can be used sweat, flared and compression fittings. Available in hard and soft types.

2009/10/26http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/astm-copper-tubes-d_779.html

Standard copper tubes of type L are used for interior above ground plumbing - domestic water-, service anddistribution-, fire protection-, solar-, fuel and oil-, HVAC-, compressed air-, natural gas-, LPG gas-, snow melting- andvacuum-systems.

Copper tubes of type L can be used with sweat, compression and flare fittings. Only seat and flare fittings are legal forgas lines. Available in hard and soft types.

Copper tubes of type M are used for interior domestic water-, service and distribution-, fire protection-, solar-, fuel andoil-, HVAC-, snow melting- and vacuum-systems. Wall thickness less than type K and L.

Copper tubes type M are normally used with flare fittings. Available in soft and hard types.

1 in (inch) = 25.4 mm

1) Annealed tube is suitable for use with flared or compression fittings, and with solder-type fittings, provided roundingand sizing of the tube ends is performed where needed.

2) Drawn temper tube is suitable for use with solder-type fittings. Types A and B tube, in the drawn temper, aresuitable for use with certain types and sizes of compression fittings. The standard length for drawn tubes are 20 ft(6.096 m).

The B88 specification covers seamless copper water tube suitable for general plumbing, similar applications for theconveyance of fluids, and commonly used with solder, flared, or compression-type fittings. The type of copper watertube suitable for any particular application is determined by the internal or external fluid pressure, by the installationand service conditions, and by local requirements. Means of joining or bending are also factors that affect the selectionof the type of tube to be used.

This specification is the imperial companion of Specification B 88M.
