Significance and Use5.1 The techniques described herein are used to produce leak-tight soldered joints between copper and copper alloy tube andfittings, either in shop operations or in the field. Skill and knowledge on the part of the operator or mechanic are required t

22、o obtaina 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 not reachall the way into the cup of the fitting and a proper joint cannot be made. If the tube s

23、egment is too long, the possibility exists thatsystem strain that negatively affects service life will be introduced.4 Available from American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), ASME International Headquarters, ThreeTwo Park Ave., New York, NY 10016-5990,http:/www.asme.org.5 Available from Amer

25、 Cut the tube to the measured lengths using tools that provide a square cut, for example, a disk-type tube cutter (Fig. 2),a hacksaw, an abrasive wheel, or with a stationary or portable band saw. Avoid deforming the tube during cutting. Regardless ofmethod, the cut shall be made square with the run

26、of the tube, so that the tube will seat properly in the fitting cup.6.2 Reaming:6.2.1 Ream all cut tube ends to the full inside diameter of the tube to remove the small burr created by the cutting operation.Failure to remove this rough edge by reaming is a leading cause of erosion-corrosion that occ

27、urs as a result of local turbulenceand increased local flow velocity in the tube. A properly reamed piece of tube provides a smooth surface for better flow.6.2.2 Remove any burrs on the outside of the tube ends created by the cutting operation to ensure proper entrance of the tubeinto the fitting cu

28、p.6.2.3 Tools used to ream tube ends include the reaming blade on the tube cutter, half-round or round files (Fig. 3), a pocket knife(Fig. 4), and a suitable deburring tool (Fig. 5). With soft (annealed) tube, care must be taken not to deform the tube end by applyingtoo much pressure.6.2.4 Soft temp

29、er tube, if deformed, shall be brought back to its proper roundness and dimensions with a sizing tool. This toolconsists of a plug and sizing ring.6.3 Cleaning:6.3.1 Clean all oxides and surface soil from the tube ends and fitting cups. The removal of all oxides and surface soil is crucialto proper

30、flow of solder metal into the joint. Unremoved oxides, surface soil, and oils will interfere with capillary action, lessenthe 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 dep

31、th of the fitting cups.6.3.3 Clean the fitting cups by using abrasive cloth, abrasive pads (Fig. 8), or a properly sized fitting brush (Fig. 9).FIG. 1 MeasuringFIG. 2 CuttingB828 1636.3.4 The capillary space between tube and fitting is approximately 0.004 in. (0.1 mm). Solder metal fills this gap by

32、 capillaryaction. This spacing is critical for the solder metal to flow into the gap and form a strong joint. Copper is a relatively soft metal.Removal of too much material from the tube end or fitting cup will result in a loose fit and interfere with satisfactory capillaryaction in making the joint

Do not touch the c

34、leaned surface with bare hands or oilygloves. Skin oils, lubricating oils, and grease impair solder metal.6.4 Applying Flux:FIG. 6 Cleaning: Sand ClothFIG. 7 Cleaning: Abrasive PadFIG. 8 Cleaning: Abrasive PadB828 1656.4.1 Use a flux that will meeting the requirements of Specification B813. Solderin

35、g fluxes are necessary to dissolve and removetraces of oxide from the cleaned surfaces to be joined, protect the cleaned surfaces from reoxidation during heating, and promotewetting of the surfaces by the solder metal, as recommended in the general requirements of Specification metal. B813. Apply at

36、hin even coating of flux with a brush to both tube and fitting as soon as possible after cleaning (Figs. 10 and 11). (WarningDonot apply with fingers. Chemicals in the flux are potentially harmful if carried to the eyes or open cuts.) cuts.)6.4.2 Use care in applying flux. Flux residue inside the tu

37、be has 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 the tube seats against the base of the fitting cup (Fig. 12).Aslight twistingmotion ensures e

38、ven coverage by the flux. Remove excess flux from the exterior of the joint with a cotton rag (Fig. 13).6.5.2 Support the tube and fitting assembly to ensure a uniform capillary space around the entire circumference of the joint.Uniformity of capillary space will ensure good molten solder metal capi

39、llary flow (Fig. 14). Susceptibility to solder metal crackingunder conditions of stress or vibration is increased in joints with excessive joint clearance.6.5.3 The joint is now ready for soldering. Joints prepared and ready for soldering shall be completed the same day and not leftunfinished or uns

40、oldered overnight.6.6 Heating:6.6.1 (WarningWhen dealing with an open flame, high temperatures and flammable gases, safety precautions must beobserved as described in ANSI/AWSANSI Z49.1.) Begin heating with the flame perpendicular to the tube (Fig. 15). The coppertube conducts the initial heat into

41、the fitting cup for even distribution of heat in the joint area. The extent of this preheating dependsupon the size of the joint. Experience will indicate the amount of time needed.6.6.2 Next, move the flame onto the fitting cup (Fig. 16).FIG. 9 Cleaning: Fitting BrushFIG. 10 Fluxing: TubeB828 1666.

42、6.3 Then alternate the flame from the fitting cup back onto the tube a distance equal to the depth of the fitting cup. With thetorch at the base of the fitting cup touch the solder to the joint. If the solder does not melt, remove it and continue the heatingprocess. (WarningCare must be taken not to

43、 overheat the joint or to direct the flame into the face of the fitting cup. Overheatingthe flux will destroy its effectiveness and not allow the solder to enter the joint properly.)properly.)FIG. 11 Fluxing: FittingFIG. 12 AssemblyFIG. 13 Removing Excess FluxB828 1676.6.4 When the melting temperatu

44、re of the solder has been reached, apply heat to the base of the cup to aid capillary action indrawing the molten solder into the cup towards the heat source.6.6.5 Heat is generally applied using an air/fuel torch (Fig. 17). Such torches use acetylene or liquefied petroleum (LP) gas.Electric resista

45、nce soldering tools (Fig. 18), which use heating electrodes are an alternative when use of an open flame is a concern(see 6.6.1).6.7 Applying Solder:6.7.1 For joints in a horizontal position, start applying the solder metal slightly off-center at the bottom of the joint (Figs. 19and 20). Proceed acr

46、oss the bottom of the fitting and up to the top center position. Return to the point of beginning, overlap thestarting point, and then proceed up the incompleted side to the top, again, overlapping the solder metal.FIG. 14 Desirable Joint ConfigurationFIG. 15 Preheating: TubeFIG. 16 Preheating: Fitt

47、ingB828 1686.7.2 For joints in the vertical position, make a similar sequence of overlapping passes starting wherever it is convenient.FIG. 17 Heating: Air/Fuel TorchFIG. 18 Electric Resistance Hand Tools Suitable for Soldering Copper TubeFIG. 19 SolderingB828 1696.7.3 Solder joints depend on capill

48、ary action drawing free-flowing molten solder into the narrow clearance between the fittingand the tube. Molten solder metal is drawn into the joint by capillary action regardless of whether the solder metal is being fedupward, downward, or horizontally.6.7.4 Flux, applied first, acts as a cleaning

49、and wetting agent and, when properly applied, permits uniform spreading of themolten solder over the surfaces to be joined. Capillary action is most effective when the space between the surfaces to be joinedis 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. Shock cooling with water will cause unnecessary stress on the joint. Whencool, clean off any remaining flux residue with a wet rag (Fig. 21).7. Testing7.1 Test all completed assemblies for joint integrity. Follow testing pr
