Technical characteristics and application scope of EN 12168 hollow copper rods
The EN 12168 standard establishes strict technical requirements for the geometry, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and quality control methodology of hollow copper rods. These products, supplied by EV Group China, are manufactured using precision drawing or high-temperature extrusion methods. The products are optimized for high-speed machining, ensuring optimal chip breaking and minimal cutting tool wear.
Important note for engineers: according to the standard classification, if hollow rods conforming to the EN 12168 specification have an outer diameter exceeding 80 mm or a wall thickness of less than 2 mm, they fall into the category of general-purpose seamless round tubes and must be classified according to the EN 12449 standard.
EV Group China ensures the supply of rolled metal products fully compliant with EN 12168 regulations, which guarantees the stability of physical and chemical indicators in every batch.
