Compressed Air Use copper tube of Types K, Lor M determined by the rated internal working pressures as shown in Tables 14.3a-c, e. Brazed joints are recommended. ‘Table 14.1 identifies the six standard types of copper ‘tube and their most common applications* The table also shows the ASTM Standard appropriate to the use of each type along with a listing of its, commercially avaliable lengths, sizes and tempers. ‘Types K, L, M, DWV and Medical Gas tube are designated by ASTM standard sizes, with the actual outside diameter always 1/8-inch largar than the standard size designation. Each type represents a series of sizes with different wall thicknesses. Type K ‘tube has thicker walls than Type L tube, and Type L walls are thicker than Type M, for any given diameter. All inside diameters depend on tube size and wall thickness. TABLE 14.2a.
