(Specification)Standard Specification for General Requirements for Wrought Copper and Copper-Alloy Plate, Sheet, Strip and Rolled Bar [Metric]
Standard Specification for General Requirements for Wrought Copper and Copper-Alloy Plate, Sheet, Strip and Rolled Bar [Metric]
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers a group of general requirements common to several wrought product specifications. Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or in an individual specification, these general requirements shall apply to copper and copper-alloy, plate, sheet, strip, and rolled bar supplied under each of the following product specifications issued by ASTM:B36/B36M, B96M, B103/ B103M, B121/B121M, B122/B122M, B152M, B169M, B194, B291, B422, B465, B534, B591, B592, B694, B740, B747, and B768.
Note 1—A complete metric companion to Specification B248 has been developed—B248M; therefore no metric equivalents are presented in this specification.
