This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, eit
15、her by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN a
16、nd/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13600:2002. In comparison with EN 13600:2002, the following significant technical changes have been made: The Scope has been expanded. The outside diameters have been expanded. The
17、wall thickness has been expanded. Cu-OFE (CW009A) and Cu-PHCE (CW022A) have been added. Tolerance on the outside diameter of round tubes and on wall thicknesses has been completely revised. Within its programme of work, Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 requested CEN/TC 133/WG 4 “Extruded and drawn pro
18、ducts, forgings and scrap“ to prepare the following revision of the standard: EN 13600:2002, Copper and copper alloys Seamless copper tubes for electrical purposes. The products specified in this European Standard are those which are especially suitable for electrical purposes, i.e. with specified e
19、lectrical properties. Copper tubes for general purposes are specified in EN 12449. Annex A (informative) gives guidance on the characteristics of coppers for electrical purposes. This is one of a series of European Standards for copper products for electrical purposes. Other copper products are spec
20、ified as follows: EN 13599, Copper and copper alloys Copper plate, sheet and strip for electrical purposes EN 13601, Copper and copper alloys Copper rod, bar and wire for general electrical purposes EN 13602, Copper and copper alloys Drawn, round copper wire for the manufacture of electrical conduct

24、trical properties, and tolerances on dimensions and form for seamless drawn copper tubes for electrical purposes, delivered in straight lengths or alternatively in level wound coils with the cross-sections and size ranges below: for round tubes in straight lengths with outside diameters from 3 mm up
25、 to and including 450 mm and wall thicknesses from 0,3 mm; for round tubes in level wound coils with outside diameters from 3 mm up to and including 30 mm and wall thicknesses from 0,3 mm; for square and rectangular tubes with major outside dimension from 5 mm up to and including 150 mm and wall thi
26、cknesses from 0,5 mm up to and including 10 mm. The sampling procedures and test methods for verification of conformity to the requirements of this standard are also specified. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are in

30、cument, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 seamless tube hollow semi-finished product, circular, square or rectangular in cross-section, having a uniform wall thickness, which at all stages of production has a continuous periphery Note 1 to entry: Tubes with a square or rectangular cross
31、-section may have corners rounded along their whole length. 3.2 mean diameter arithmetical mean of any two diameters normal to each other at the same cross-section of the tube BS EN 13600:2013EN 13600:2013 (E) 6 3.3 deviation from circular form difference between the maximum and minimum outside diam

33、 ISO 1190-1. NOTE Although material symbol designations used in this standard might be the same as those in other standards using the designation system in ISO 1190-1, the detailed composition requirements are not necessarily the same. 4.1.3 Number The material number designation is in accordance wi
34、th the 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: D Material condition for the product as cold worked without specified mechanical propertie
35、s; H. Material condition designated by the minimum value of hardness requirement for the product with mandatory hardness requirements; R. Material condition designated by the minimum value of tensile strength requirement for the product with mandatory tensile strength, 0,2 % proof strength and elong
36、ation requirements. Products in the H. condition may be specified to Vickers or Brinell hardness. The material condition designation H. is the same for both hardness test methods. Exact conversion between the material conditions designated H. and R. is not possible. Material condition is designated
37、by only one of the above designations. 4.3 Product The product designation provides a standardised pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocal description of a product can be conveyed in communication. It provides mutual comprehension at the international level with regard to products
38、which meet the requirements of the relevant European Standard. The product designation is no substitute for the full content of the standard.
