ASTM B359/B359M-18

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: B359/B359M − 15 B359/B359M − 18
Standard Specification for
Copper and Copper-Alloy Seamless Condenser and Heat

Exchanger Tubes With Integral Fins
This standard is issued under the fixed designation B359/B359M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.
A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for seamless copper and copper alloy tubing on which the external or
internal surface, or both, has been modified by a cold-forming process to produce an integral enhanced surface for improved heat
transfer.
1.2 The tubes are typically used in surface condensers, evaporators, and heat exchangers.

NOTE 1—Designations listed in Classification
1.4 Units—The values stated in either in-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text,
the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used
independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems could result in nonconformance with the specification.
1.5 Product produced in accordance with the Supplementary Requirements section for military applications shall be produced
only to the inch-pound system of this specification.

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 safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. Some specific hazards statements are given in Sections 1, 12 and 18.
1.7 (Warning—Mercury has been designated by many regulatory agencies as a hazardous materialsubstance that can cause
serious medical issues. Mercury, or its vapor, has been demonstrated to be hazardous to health and corrosive to materials. Caution
should be taken Use caution when handling mercury and mercury containing mercury-containing products. See the applicable
product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information. Users should be aware The potential exists that selling mercury and/or
mercury containing products into your state or country may be prohibited by law.or mercury-containing products, or both, is
