ASTM B371/B371M-05
(Specification)Standard Specification for Copper-Zinc-Silicon Alloy Rod
Standard Specification for Copper-Zinc-Silicon Alloy Rod
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for copper-zinc-silicon alloy rod produced in Copper Alloy UNS Nos. C69300, C69400, C69430, C69700, and C69710.
1.1.1 If the purchaser does not specify the alloy to be supplied, product is permitted to be furnished in any of the alloys named in .
1.2 UnitsThe values stated in either inch-pound units or in SI units are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.
The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to of this specification. 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 requirements prior to use. (Warning-Mercury is a definite health hazard in use and disposal.)
