ASTM B 828 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for Making Capillary Joints by Soldering of Copper and Copper Alloy Tube and Fittings
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 10, 2002
Scope:
This practice describes a procedure for making capillary joints by
soldering of copper and copper
alloy tube and fittings.
This procedure is applicable to pressurized systems such as plumbing,
heating, air conditioning,
refrigeration, mechanical, fire sprinkler, and other similar systems.
ASME B31.5 and B31.9
reference the techniques used for satisfactory joint preparation. It
is also used in the assembly
of nonpressurized systems such as drainage, waste, and vent.
It is not applicable to the assembly of electrical or electronic
systems.
Tube and fittings are manufactured within certain tolerances to
provide for the small variations in
dimensions associated with manufacturing practice. Applicable
specifications are listed in Appendix
X1.
A variety of solders are available that will produce sound, leak-tight
joints. Choice of solder
will depend upon the type of application and on local codes. For
potable water systems, only
lead-free solders shall be used, some of which are described in
Specification B 32.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information purposes only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. For hazard
statements, see the warning statements in 6.4.1, 6.6.1, and 6.6.3.
