Summary of Practice4.1 To consistently make satisfactory joi

18、nts, the followingsequence of joint preparation and operations shall be followed:(1) measuring and cutting,(2) reaming,(3) cleaning,(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 use

19、d to produceleak-tight soldered joints between copper and copper alloy tubeand fittings, either in shop operations or in the field. 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

20、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 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

21、 willbe introduced.6.1.2 Cut the tube to the measured lengths using tools thatprovide a square cut, for example, a disk-type tube 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 mad

22、e 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 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-

23、corrosion that occurs as a result oflocal turbulence and increased local flow velocity in the tube.A properly reamed piece of tube 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

24、 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. 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.

25、2.4 Soft temper tube, if deformed, shall be brought back toits proper roundness and dimensions with a sizing tool. Thistool consists 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

26、 to proper flow of solder metal into the joint. Unremovedoxides, surface soil, and oils will interfere with capillaryaction, lessen 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 th

27、anthe depth of the fitting cups.6.3.3 Clean the fitting cups by using abrasive cloth, abrasivepads (Fig. 8), or a properly sized fitting brush (Fig. 9).5American Welding Society Welding Handbook, Welding Processes, 8th ed., Vol2, American Welding Society, 550 N.W.

28、 Measuring FIG. 2 CuttingB828 02 (2010)26.3.4 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 toflow into the gap and form a strong joint. Copper is a relativelysoft metal

29、. Removal of too much material from the tube end orfitting cup will result in a loose fit and interfere with satisfac-tory capillary action in making the joint.6.3.5 If chemical cleaning is used, the tube ends and fittingsshall be thoroughly rinsed after cleaning in accordance with theFIG. 3 Reaming

Do not touch the cleaned surface with bare hands oroily gloves. Skin

31、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 cleaned surfaces to be joined, protect thecleaned surfaces from reoxidation during heating, and promotewetting of the surfaces by the solder metal, as recomm

32、ended inthe general requirements of Specification B813. Apply a thineven coating of flux with a brush to both tube and fitting assoon as possible 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.

33、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 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 f

34、itting cup (Fig. 12). A slighttwisting motion ensures even coverage by the flux. Removeexcess flux from the exterior of the joint with a cotton 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 capil

35、lary space will ensure good moltensolder metal capillary flow (Fig. 14).

36、 joints with excessive joint clearance.6.5.3 The joint is now ready for soldering. Joints preparedand ready for soldering shall be completed the same day andnot left unfinished overnight.6.6 Heating:6.6.1 (WarningWhen dealing with an open flame, hightemperatures and flammable gases, safety precautio

37、ns must beobserved as described in ANSI/AWS Z49.1.) Begin heatingwith the flame perpendicular to the tube (Fig. 15). The coppertube conducts the initial heat into the fitting cup for evendistribution of heat in the joint area. The extent of thispreheating depends upon the size of the joint. Experien

38、ce 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 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 th

39、e 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 the 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 mel

40、ting 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 towards 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. Elect

41、ric 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 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). Pr

42、oceed 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 up the incompletedside to the top, again, overlapping the solder metal.6.7.2 For joints in the vertical position, make a similarsequence of overlappi

43、ng passes starting wherever it is conve-nient.FIG. 14 Desirable Joint ConfigurationFIG. 15 Preheating: TubeFIG. 16 Preheating: FittingFIG. 17 Heating: Air/Fuel TorchB828 02 (2010)56.7.3 Solder joints depend on capillary action drawingfree-flowing molten solder into the narrow clearance betweenthe fi

44、tting and the tube. Molten solder metal is drawn into thejoint by capillary action regardless of whether the solder metalis being fed upward, downward, or horizontally.6.7.4 Flux, applied first, acts as a cleaning and wetting agentand, when properly applied, permits uniform spreading of themolten so

45、lder 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 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 o

46、n the joint.When cool, clean off any remaining flux residue with a wet rag(Fig. 21).7. Testing7.1 Test all completed assemblies for joint integrity.
