R290
A copper temper designated in BS EN standards, R290 stands for "hard" temper of copper tubes. Copper tubes of R290 material condition are delivered in straight length, in the meanwhile, the mechanical properties, tolerances and carbon residues are different with R220 and R250 temper.
Mechanical Properties of R290 Copper Tubes
- Norminal outside diameter: 6mm min., 267mm max.
- Tensile strength: 290 MPa min. (1 MPa is equivalent to 1 N/mm2)
- Elongation: 3% min.
- Hardness: min. 100
