C12200 Seamless Copper Tubing, Copper Alloy C12200 Tubing
Our Copper C12200 tubes are used in sugar refineries for condensers and evaporators due to its excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. Deoxidized tubes, such as ASTM B75 copper C12200 tubes, are used for efficient heat transfer from steam to water or air. The C12200 copper composition offers outstanding resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and delivers moderate electrical conductivity, due to its phosphorus content. They have excellent hot and cold workability, forgeability, and resistance to pitting corrosion which makes them ideal for severe weather and water exposure.
They comply with ASTM B111, ASTM B75, ASTM B68 and ASTM B280, with outer diameters of 4mm to 150mm, wall thickness of 0.25mm to 8mm and lengths from 1 meter to 6 meters customizable as required.
Every ASTM B68 C12200 pre-insulated copper tube undergoes various tests to ensure defect-free, reliable performance in harsh environments. We supply premium C12200 copper tube and pipe to European countries such as Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, meeting high-quality standards and customer requirements.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between C12200 and C10200?
A: C12200 (DHP - Deoxidized High Phosphorus) contains 0.015-0.040% phosphorus and is weldable and brazeable. C10200 (Oxygen Free) contains no residual deoxidants and has higher conductivity (~100% IACS vs 85-90% IACS) but is less suitable for welding. For heat exchanger tubes requiring tube-to-tubesheet welding or brazing, C12200 is preferred.
Q2: What standards do these tubes comply with?
A: The tubes comply with:
ASTM B111 – Condenser and heat exchanger tubes
ASTM B75 – General engineering seamless tubes
ASTM B280 – Air conditioning and refrigeration
ASTM B68 – Bright annealed seamless tubes
ASME SB111 / SB75 / SB280 / SB68 – ASME code versions
Q3: What is the typical delivery time for C12200 tubes?
A: Standard delivery times vary based on quantity and specifications. Please contact the supplier directly for current lead times.
Q4: Do you ship to European countries?
A: Yes. The supplier states they supply premium C12200 copper tubes to European countries including Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain.
Q5: What are the available tempers for C12200 tubes?
A: Available tempers include:
O61 (Annealed) – Softest, for bending and expanding
H55 (Light Drawn) – Moderate strength
H80 (Hard Drawn) – Highest strength
Q6: What is the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement?
A: C12200 offers outstanding resistance to hydrogen embrittlement due to its phosphorus deoxidation. This makes it suitable for applications involving welding, brazing, or exposure to reducing atmospheres where non-deoxidized copper (like C11000) would be susceptible to cracking.
Q7: Are these tubes suitable for pitting corrosion environments?
A: Yes. The product page states C12200 has "excellent resistance to pitting corrosion" which makes them ideal for severe weather and water exposure.
Q8: What is the maximum length available?
A: Standard lengths range from 1 meter to 6 meters. Custom lengths may be available upon request.
Q9: What testing is performed on these tubes?
A: Every ASTM B68 C12200 tube undergoes various tests to ensure defect-free, reliable performance in harsh environments. Typical tests include eddy current and hydrostatic testing.
