ASTM B248-01e1

Standard Specification for General Requirements for Wrought Copper and Copper-Alloy Plate, Sheet, Strip, and Rolled Bar

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: B 36/B 36M, B 96/B 96M, B 103/B 103M, B 121/B 121M, B 122/B 122M, B 152/B 152M, B 169/B 169M, B 194, B 291, B 422, B 465, B 534, B 591, B 592, B 694, B 740, B 747, and B 768.
Note 1—A complete metric companion to Specification B 248 has been developed-B 248M; therefore no metric equivalents are presented in this specification.
