Material Tempers & Properties

The mechanical properties of the tube are specified by its material temper designation (e.g., R250, R290).

  • R250 (Half Hard): Minimum tensile strength of 250 MPa, minimum elongation of 30% (or 20% for certain conditions), and a Vickers hardness of 75-100 HV5.
  • R290 (Hard): Minimum tensile strength of 290 MPa, minimum elongation of 3%, and a Vickers hardness over 100 HV5.

The designation follows the format Copper tube EN 13348 [Temper] [Diameter]x[Wall], for example: *Copper tube EN 13348 R290 15×1.0.

Property Designation Symbols (EN 1173)

The letter symbols used in property designations are defined as follows:

SymbolProperty Definition
AElongation
BSpring bending limit
GGrain size
HHardness (Brinell for castings, Vickers for wrought products)
M(as) Manufactured, i.e., without specified mechanical properties
RTensile strength (e.g., R250 = 250 MPa)
Y0.2% proof strength
