16、2EN 12450:2012 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 12450:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 “Copper and copper alloys”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
17、by endorsement, at the latest by May 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for ident
18、ifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12450:1999. In comparison with EN 12450:1999, the following significant technical changes were made: a) 6.6 “Surface quality“, has been modified; b) In 8.5 “Cleanliness test“ the text regarding the determination of lubricant residue a
19、s described in EN 723 has been added. This is one of a series of European Standards for copper and copper alloy tubes.

26、ts and tolerances on dimensions and on form for seamless round copper capillary tubes for use as metering lines for liquids or gases where close controls over the smoothness and dimensions of the bore are required to ensure uniform flow characteristics. This European Standard applies to capillary tu
27、bes in straight lengths, or in coils, in the size range up to and including 6,10 mm outside diameter and from 0,30 mm up to and including 4,45 mm inside diameter which are intended for restrictor applications. The sampling procedures and the methods of test for verification of conformity to the requ
28、irements of this European Standard are also specified. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest

35、NOTE Although material symbol designations used in this standard might be the same as those in other standards using the designation system given in ISO 1190-1, the detailed composition requirements are not necessarily the same. 4.1.3 Number The material number designation is in accordance with the
36、system given in EN 1412. 4.2 Material condition For the purposes of this standard, the following designations, which are in accordance with the system given in EN 1173, apply for the material condition: R. Material condition designated by the minimum value of tensile strength requirement for the pro
37、duct with mandatory tensile strength and elongation requirements; H. Material condition designated by the minimum value of hardness requirement for the product with mandatory hardness requirements. Exact conversion between the material conditions designated R. and H. is not possible. Material condit
38、ion is designated by only one of the above designations. 4.3 Product The product designation provides a standardized pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocal description of a product is conveyed in communication. It provides mutual comprehension at the international level with regar
39、d to products which meet the requirements of the relevant European Standard. The product designation is no substitute for the full content of the standard. The product designation for products to this standard shall consist of: denomination (Tube); number of this European Standard (EN 12450); materi
40、al condition designation (see Table 1); nominal cross-sectional dimensions (outside diameter inside diameter). The derivation of a product designation is shown in the following example.
