BIS CERTIFICATION FOR SOLID DRAWN COPPER TUBES FOR GENERAL ENGINEERING PURPOSES IS 2501:1995

For general engineering applications, adherence to BIS certification is compulsory for solid drawn copper tubes as per the Indian Standard IS 2501:1995. These unique cylindrical metal tubes are crafted from pure copper and typically produced through the solid drawing method. This technique involves pulling a copper billet or ingot through a die to create seamless tubes with accurate measurements and consistent wall thickness.

The ISI certification (BIS) for solid drawn copper tubes used in general engineering is regulated by IS 2501:1995. This standard delineates manufacturing, chemical, and physical prerequisites, along with tailored test procedures, specifically crafted for solid drawn copper tubes employed in general engineering applications.

Solid drawn copper tubes serve as versatile and indispensable components in numerous industries where dependable, corrosion-resistant, and efficient heat transmission is crucial. These tubes are utilized in hydraulic systems, electrical circuits, refrigeration, plumbing, instrumentation, and various other general engineering applications owing to their seamless construction and ability to adapt to diverse technical requirements.
