ASTM B36/B36M-01

Standard Specification for Brass Plate, Sheet, Strip, And Rolled Bar

SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for brass plate, sheet, strip, and rolled bar of the following alloys:
Nominal CompositionCopper Alloy Previously Used Copper, %Zinc, %UNS No.DesignationC210001955C2200029010C22600. . .87.512.5C2300038515C2400048020C2600067030C2680086634C2720096337C28000. . .6040
1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combing values from two systems may results in nonconformance with the standard.
