What is Copper Tubes for ACR Application?

Typically, Copper Tubes for ACR Applications are used for air conditioning, refrigeration, and refrigerant compressors. It has excellent heat conductivity and is used for various refrigerant mediums. It is also a long-lasting product that is manufactured to ASTM specifications. ACR Copper Tubes are marked with a blue code marking to indicate the usage.

It is available in a variety of different alloys and finishes. It is also available in a variety of different sizes and wall thicknesses. In addition, it can be formed into coils for added flexibility.

Variations of Copper Tubes for ACR Application

The main copper tubes used for ACR application are Type L, Type K and Type M. Each type has a different wall thickness and is suitable for different applications. Type L is suitable for pressure service and fuel oil services. Type K is suitable for underground service.

In addition, these tubes are available in a variety of different thicknesses. Thicker types are best for high-pressure applications. The inside diameter of copper tubes depends on the wall thickness. Soft copper tubing is annealed to soften and can be joined by flaring and compression fittings. It can also be joined by mechanical joints, such as roll-groove joints and press-connect joints.

The ACR Copper Tube is produced in coils and is rated for a maximum service temperature of 150°F. In addition, it is marked with a blue code marking to indicate that it is for use in air conditioning and refrigeration applications. It is available in straight lengths of 20 feet and shorter lengths. It is also available in 50-foot rolls.
