ASTM B111 C68700 Seamless Alumium Copper Alloy Tube For Condenser

We are one of the largest stainless steel, duplex and alloy steel pipe manufacturers in China. After more than 20 years of development, we have accumulated a large number of customers all over the world, and Yuhong products have also won unanimous praise from customers.

Aluminum Brass Tube - C68700 - Resists the action of high velocity salt and black water, commonly used in condenser tubes. The main feature of the C68700 is its high resistance to shock attacks. Tubes of this alloy are recommended for cooling marine and terrestrial power stations with high water velocities.

Our ASTM B111 C68700 tubes are widely used in surface condensers, heat exchangers and evaporators. They have high strength at high temperatures, excellent corrosion resistance and good creep resistance. C68700 has particularly good corrosion resistance in seawater

C68700 has particularly good corrosion resistance in seawater. C44300 and C68700 have good corrosion resistance. C68700 was annealed in the O61 temper. The lowest tensile strength is 345Mpa, and the lowest yield strength is 125Mpa.

C68700 has a density of 8.33g/cm3, 0.301lb/in.3

Typical Application of C68700 Aluminum Brass "As"

Industrial: condenser tubes, evaporator tubes, ferrules, still tubes, heat exchanger tubes

C68700 aluminum brass tubes are widely used in "seawater desalination plants"

Extended test
When expanded in accordance with Test Method B 153, pipe samples selected for testing shall withstand the expansion indicated in the standard. The expanded tube shall show no visible cracks or ruptures.
Hard-drawn tubes that have not been final annealed are exempt from this test. This test is required when the pipe is specified to be end annealed and should be performed on the annealed end of the sample pipe.
Tubing used for ferrule stock is not tested for expansion.
Flattening test
Test Method—Each test specimen shall be flattened in the press at three (3) locations along its length, with each new location being rotated approximately one-third of a turn on its axis from the last flattened area. Each flat area should be at least 2 inches in length. The flattened specimen shall allow free passage of a micrometer caliper set at three (3) times the wall thickness over the flattened area. The flat areas of the test specimens should be inspected for surface defects.
During inspection, the flat areas of the test specimen shall be free from defects, but defects that do not affect the properties of the intended application are acceptable.
Tubes for ferrule stock do not need to be flattened tested.
Residual Stress Test
Only copper alloys UNS numbers C23000, C28000, C44300, C44400, C44500, C60800, C61300, C61400 and C68700 require residual stress testing.
Unless otherwise specified, the manufacturer may choose to test the product by the Mercury Nitrate Test (Test Method B 154) or the Ammonia Vapor Test (Test Method B 858) as specified below.
Non-destructive testing
Eddy Current Test - Each tube shall be passed through an eddy current test apparatus adjusted to provide information on the suitability of the tube for the intended application. Testing shall follow the procedures in Practice E 243.

Hydrostatictest
Each tube shall withstand an internal hydrostatic pressure sufficient to subject the material to a fiber stress of 7000 psi [48 MPa] in the absence of evidence of leakage, as determined by the following equation for a thin hollow cylinder in tension The formula is determined. Unless otherwise specified, pipe need not be tested to hydrostatic pressures in excess of 1000 psi [7.0 MPa].
