Mueller Industries has tested andvalidated its Streamline COPPER tube and COPPER fittings for an operating pressure of 700 PSI. The following information willgive an insight on the testing and qualifications of Streamline PERFORMANCE COPPER PRODUCTS The problem with using a proportional limit todesignate an allowable stress for COPPER isthat COPPER , unlike steel, does not have aproportional limit. Therefore any attempt togenerate an allowable stress using some % offset is misleading and inaccurate. The problem with assuming wall thickness isdirectly proportional to the operating and burstpressure of a COPPER tube or fitting is that it totallyignores the grain size and grain cleanliness ofthe cast and hard drawn tube. In fact, the graincondition can have a greater impact on materialstrength than the wall thickness.
