17、1.1 DiscussionIn actual practice, most soldering isdone at temperatures from about 350 to 660F (177 to 349C).4. Summary of Practice4.1 To consistently make satisfactory joints, the followingsequence of joint preparation and operations shall be followed:(1) measuring and cutting,(2) reaming,(3) clean

18、ing,(4) fluxing,(5) assembly and support,(6) heating,(7) applying the solder, and(8) cooling and cleaning.5. Significance and Use5.1 The techniques described herein are used to produceleak-tight soldered joints between copper and copper alloy tubeand fittings, either in shop operations or in the fie

19、ld. Skill andknowledge on the part of the operator or mechanic are requiredto obtain a satisfactorily soldered joint.6. Procedure6.1 Measuring and Cutting:6.1.1 Accurately measure the length of each tube segment(Fig. 1) to ensure joint quality. If the tube is too short, it will notreach all the way

20、into the cup of the fitting and a proper jointcannot be made. If the tube segment is too long, the possibilityexists that system strain that negatively affects service life willbe introduced.6.1.2 Cut the tube to the measured lengths using tools thatprovide a square cut, for example, a disk-type tub

21、e cutter (Fig.2), a hacksaw, an abrasive wheel, or with a stationary orportable band saw. Avoid deforming the tube during cutting.Regardless of method, the cut shall be made square with therun of the tube, so that the tube will seat properly in the fittingcup.6.2 Reaming:6.2.1 Ream all cut tube ends

22、 to the full inside diameter ofthe tube to remove the small burr created by the cuttingoperation. Failure to remove this rough edge by reaming is aleading cause of erosion-corrosion that occurs as a result oflocal turbulence and increased local flow velocity in the tube.A properly reamed piece of tu

23、be provides a smooth surface forbetter flow.6.2.2 Remove any burrs on the outside of the tube endscreated by the cutting operation to ensure proper entrance ofthe tube into the fitting cup.6.2.3 Tools used to ream tube ends include the reamingblade on the tube cutter, half-round or round files (Fig.

24、 3), apocket knife (Fig. 4), and a suitable deburring tool (Fig. 5).With soft (annealed) tube, care must be taken not to deform thetube end by applying too much pressure.6.2.4 Soft temper tube, if deformed, shall be brought back toits proper roundness and dimensions with a sizing tool. Thistool cons

25、ists of a plug and sizing ring.6.3 Cleaning:6.3.1 Clean all oxides and surface soil from the tube endsand fitting cups. The removal of all oxides and surface soil iscrucial to proper flow of solder metal into the joint. Unremovedoxides, surface soil, and oils will interfere with capillaryaction, les

26、sen the strength of the joint, and cause failure.6.3.2 Lightly abrade the tube ends using sand cloth (Fig. 6)or nylon abrasive pads (Fig. 7) for a distance slightly more thanthe depth of the fitting cups.6.3.3 Clean the fitting cups by using abrasive cloth, abrasivepads (Fig. 8), or a properly sized

27、 fitting brush (Fig. 9).6.3.4 The capillary space between tube and fitting is ap-proximately 0.004 in. (0.1 mm). Solder metal fills this gap bycapillary action. This spacing is critical for the solder metal to8American Welding Society Welding Handbook, Welding Processes, 8th ed., Vol2, American Weld

Skin oils, lubricating oils, and grease impair soldermetal.6.4 Applying Flux:6.4.1 Use a flux that will dissolve and remove traces ofoxide from the c

31、leaned surfaces to be joined, protect thecleaned surfaces from reoxidation during heating, and promotewetting of the surfaces by the solder metal, as recommended inthe general requirements of Specification B 813. Apply a thineven coating of flux with a brush to both tube and fitting assoon as possib

32、le after cleaning (Figs. 10 and 11).(WarningDo not apply with fingers. Chemicals in the fluxare potentially harmful if carried to the eyes or open cuts.)6.4.2 Use care in applying flux. Flux residue inside the tubehas been known to cause corrosion and perforation of the tubeand/or fitting wall long

33、after the system has been installed.6.5 Assembly and Support:6.5.1 Insert tube end into fitting cup, making sure that thetube seats against the base of the fitting cup (Fig. 12). A slighttwisting motion ensures even coverage by the flux. Removeexcess flux from the exterior of the joint with a cotton

34、 rag (Fig.13).6.5.2 Support the tube and fitting assembly to ensure auniform capillary space around the entire circumference of thejoint. Uniformity of capillary space will ensure good moltensolder metal capillary flow (Fig. 14). Susceptibility to solderFIG. 9 Cleaning: Fitting BrushFIG. 10 Fluxing:

Begin heatingwith the flame perpendicular to the tube (Fig. 15). The coppertube conducts the initia

37、l heat into the fitting cup for evendistribution of heat in the joint area. The extent of thispreheating depends upon the size of the joint. Experience willindicate the amount of time needed.6.6.2 Next, move the flame onto the fitting cup (Fig. 16).6.6.3 Then alternate the flame from the fitting cup

38、 back ontothe tube a distance equal to the depth of the fitting cup. Withthe torch at the base of the fitting cup touch the solder to thejoint. If the solder does not melt, remove it and continue theheating process. (WarningCare must be taken not to over-heat the joint or to direct the flame into th

39、e face of the fittingcup. Overheating the flux will destroy its effectiveness and notallow the solder to enter the joint properly.)6.6.4 When the melting temperature of the solder has beenreached, apply heat to the base of the cup to aid capillary actionin drawing the molten solder into the cup towa

40、rds the heatsource.6.6.5 Heat is generally applied using an air/fuel torch (Fig.17). Such torches use acetylene or liquefied petroleum (LP)gas. Electric resistance soldering tools (Fig. 18), which useheating electrodes are an alternative when use of an open flameis a concern (see 6.6.1).6.7 Applying

41、 Solder:6.7.1 For joints in a horizontal position, start applying thesolder metal slightly off-center at the bottom of the joint (Figs.19 and 20). Proceed across the bottom of the fitting and up tothe top center position. Return to the point of beginning,overlap the starting point, and then proceed

42、up the incompletedside to the top, again, overlapping the solder metal.6.7.2 For joints in the vertical position, make a similarsequence of overlapping passes starting wherever it is conve-nient.FIG. 14 Desirable Joint ConfigurationFIG. 15 Preheating: TubeFIG. 16 Preheating: FittingFIG. 17 Heating:

43、Air/Fuel TorchB8280256.7.3 Solder joints depend on capillary action drawingfree-flowing molten solder into the narrow clearance betweenthe fitting and the tube. Molten solder metal is drawn into thejoint by capillary action regardless of whether the solder metalis being fed upward, downward, or hori

44、zontally.6.7.4 Flux, applied first, acts as a cleaning and wetting agentand, when properly applied, permits uniform spreading of themolten solder over the surfaces to be joined. Capillary action ismost effective when the space between the surfaces to bejoined is between 0.002 and 0.005 in. (0.05 to

45、0.125 mm).6.8 Cooling and Cleaning:6.8.1 Allow the completed joint to cool naturally. Shockcooling with water will cause unnecessary stress on the joint.When cool, clean off any remaining flux residue with a wet rag(Fig. 21).7.
