C10200 Copper Tubing
C10200 Oxygen Free (OF) Copper in Tubing. We carry a very large range of sizes and will cut the material to length.
C10200 Oxygen Free (OF) Copper is produced by the direct conversion of selected refined cathodes and castings under carefully controlled conditions to prevent contamination of the pure oxygen-free metal during processing. The method of producing OFHC copper ensures extra high grade of metal with a copper content of 99.99%. With so small a content of extraneous elements, the inherent properties of elemental copper are brought forth to a high degree.

| Temper Designations for Copper Tubes | |||
| Temper Code | Description | Characteristics | Applicable Fittings |
| O | Soft / Annealed | Maximum ductility; lowest strength; excellent bending and flaring properties | Flared fittings; compression fittings; requires rounding and sizing for solder-type fittings |
| H | Drawn / Hard | Cold-drawn; higher strength; reduced ductility; limited bending capability | Solder-type fittings; certain types and sizes of compression fittings |
