K or L type copper tube for LOX and LN facilities.
K or L type copper tube for LOX and LN facilities.
(OP)
Hello all,
I am in a piping Project about a facility of LOX and LN storage in cryogenic tanks and I want to know what kind of copper tube could be the better in this stage of the plant.
the design pressure and temperatura are 250 psi and -200 C. What kind of copper tube ? K or L?

All our piping was either LTCS or SS.

"Most LIN lines use type K copper pipe here in the US as opposed to XS 304L which will be much more expensive."

Yes, I am working in a customer facility mainly for gas cylinder filling and other gas and liquid applications. Here in Latin america the lines for this kind of facilities are copper tube for liquid lines (up to 250 psi) to cryogenics temperature and SS and brass tube for higth pressure gas lines (up to 3000 psi).
Another question, do you recomend threaded joints for the liquid lines or those kind of joins is not a good practice?
thanks in advance
