ASTM B506-16

Standard Specification for Copper-Clad Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip for Building Construction

SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for rolled copper-clad stainless steel, sheet and strip in flat lengths, coils, or in rolls in thicknesses for roofing, siding, flashing, rain drainage, windows, doors, curtain wall components, and for other architectural sheet metal work and fabricated products in building and construction.  
1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units which are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.2.1 Exception—Grain size units are stated in SI units.  
1.3 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to the test method(s) described in this specification.  
1.3.1 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
