ASTM B694-95

Standard Specification for Copper, Copper-Alloy, and Copper-Clad Stainless Steel (CCS), and Copper-Clad Alloy Steel (CAS) Sheet and Strip for Electrical Cable Shielding

SCOPE
1.1 This specification describes selected copper, copper alloy, copper-clad stainless steel (CCS), and copper-clad alloy steel (CAS) materials, sheet, and strip, in various thicknesses, for use as electrostatic or electromagnetic shielding for insulated power, control, instrumentation, and communication cables.
Note--1 See Specification B 736, for related standards for aluminum-based shielding materials.
1.2 The products covered are the following:Copper or Copper Alloy Type of ProductsUNS No.C11000copperC19400copper-iron alloyC22000copper-zinc alloy (commercial bronze)C23000copper-zinc alloy (red brass)C66400copper-zinc-iron-cobalt alloyC66410copper-zinc-iron alloyC71000cupro-nickel 20 %... copper-clad stainless steel (CCS)... copper-clad alloy steel (CAS)
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard, except for temperature and grain size which are given in SI units. Values in parentheses are for information only.
