What is BS EN 12450 - Seamless, round copper capillary tubes about?
BS EN 12450 is a European standard on copper and copper alloys that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality seamless, round copper capillary tubes.
BS EN 12450 specifies the composition, property requirements, 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.
BS EN 12450 applies to capillary tubes 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 is intended for restrictor applications. The sampling procedures and the methods of testing for verification of conformity to the requirements of BS EN 12450 are also specified.
